Sometimes you need to burn a model for a good cover...

Couldn't have done that with a Stradivarius!

Zounds again...

What's the dog doing here ?

I'll come!

Jimmy found the right Santa Claus!

One more...

So exciting...

Is that what you call a vegetarian orgy ?

Another bad pun...

Did not know John had so many sisters trying to capitalize on his name! Tell Yoko to watch out.

Tell your children to beware.

When he was fired from Mode, the guy went to Mercury : Poor Clifford!

What about this pun ? Do you think Q is proud of this ?

Some weird Third Stream :

You can't learn to both sing and write :

This guy hasn't played his trumpet for a very long time...

Thank you, Tom. Does Goldberg alludes to Lee Morgan then recent "retirement" from the NY scene? "No Room For Squares" was his first session after his come-back and I always wandered what was said about it in the original notes.

Mark Shim is now part of Elvin Jones' Jazz Machine. They'll play in Paris in a few days, on September 5, at La Villette Jazz Festival. Mark Shim is also part of altoist Steve Lehman quintet, which is about to record for Fresh Sound New Talent. Must watch for this one when it comes out. Lehman, former student of both Jackie McLean and Anthony Braxton, is one of the most original alto player I've heard in years. He just completed a full year stay in Paris and he's now back in NYC.
