Here are a couple shots of Sonny from this years Chicago Jazz Fest....check out that hair.................cool! m

Which Oliver Perez shows up for the Mets today, the one that can pitch 8 innings with two hits and 9Ks, or the one that pitches 4 innings with 6 walks? Massive clutch performance by Santana yesterday, complete game shutout knowing his bullpen is bull----. H threw a decent game though those late inning runs may be too much to overcome...

...should it be awared because someone "could use" the cash? BTW...I do like Roswell.

....album covers of musicians that may need to see their dentist .

Like I said before, charge $1 for every bag (otherwise given out by the store now for free), and DON'T charge $1 if you bring your own bags in and use them instead -- and that'll reduce the number of excess bags being used by 98%. I think you said $2.00

..not tonight but this weekend....Fred Anderson, Nicole Mitchell, Henry Johnson, Corey Wilkes, Willie Pickens and Chris Potter in Chicago. m

Is that code? I'm never sure. Its a really tasty scottish ale from Founders Brewery. Hey Sal....didn't know you drank beer???

...really????

...and one more

..here are a couple shots I made of him about a year ago....

Hi Chris and thanks for posting. I will just talking with Jim Neumann (BeeHive Records) earlier this morning about Dick as he was trying to get Oberlin College to do something for him...which obviously is too late at this point. I know Jim was a fan of his so I sent the link to him. I called him as well....he's bummed! m~

...and

...here are a couple shots I made of him at Vision Fest in nyc.

Joey played it the last time he was in Indy...a few months ago. I think the other owner of the company was in attendance. While I thought it sounded very good....I thought the show was very uninspired

...or as the downbeat guys call him....Jimmy Pink Hat!

...man, no need to for me post anything; you've got it covered. You've got a steady hand to get those shots in the Velvet and Showcase; no easy task with the lighting!............Solid! Where are your Rollins and Ornette shots???? m

...Used (an extra copy) copy of Deep Blue Organ Trio's "Goin to Town-Live at the Green Mill" $6.00 includes shipping in US. Hole punch through bar code...no hole punch in cd ! PM if interested Mark~

Hi Wayne; great to meet you at the festival!! I tried to find you at the Showcase on Sunday night but never did see you although it appears we were there at the same time. I was distracted by jazzshrink's constant flirting (he struck out ) with our waitress and probably just missed you! I'm glad you caught me Saturday night at the front of the stage in Grant Park for a few minutes. The festival was great fun other than being under the weather for part of it. I agree on all the above....though I liked Gerald Wilson probably more than you. He was difficult to photograph as he was running from one side of the stage to the other most of the time. I'll see him in LA next month; looking forward to seeing him again. I loved 8 Bold Souls and caught them last year at the Velvet....both shows were great to my ears! I also caught Greg Osby at the Green Mill and a nice African Tribute to James Brown with Pee Wee Ellis, Fred Wesley, Roy Hargrove and others on Tuesday night...with a nice opening set by Corey Wilkes and Black Slang. Also ran into Chuck, ejp626 (Erik), Sal and Larry Kart at different times throughout the festival. m~

...sad; I always liked that guys voice....loved those Geico commercials where he heckles himself! m

Double damn them all, I forgot to watch the Mad Men marathon this weekend. ...man, I love that show!!! Not so much the telethon.

...at his core; chewy is a smooth jazzer!

....they eat that sh#t up !

...great night indeed. Just wheeling in from the Velvet Lounge; it's 2:40 a.m. here in Chicago. Great sets with Fred Anderson, Kidd Jordan, Harrison Bankhead, Isaah Spencer with special guest Henry Grimes on both violin and bass. Hung out with Jazzshrink, Blake and his wife and chatted with Chuck N for a few minutes as well....lots of fun! m
