1. While there are few performing opportunities (see Gigs for one glimmer), I am working on various projects. As reported before, one is developing video and audio tech skills, and that is crawling forward steadily, but slowly. I still have to work out the performing
rights issues around the recently discovered video of the Pocket Big Band; I have to be patient since the ball is now in BMI’s court. There is also a recently recovered live recording of the Pocket Big Band that I would like to make available on a very limited release. Then there is a long blog posting of Dameron research that has cropped up after the publication of the book. That too is moving slowly but steadily. Back to the tech front, I hope to try streaming a duo performance from my living room by the end of the year. Needless to say, I am thankful to be in a position to work on these things.

2. I like to share sources for jazz news from time to time, and since I was introduced to some in the course of the reviews of Unknown Dameron, I went hunting on the internet and found this site called RoJaRo, which listed several from around the world. Sadly, some are discontinued, but you might find looking at this interesting, even though it is not complete. Fortunately the ones that reviewed my CD are still active:
Jazzdagama
Culturejazz
Jazz Weekly
L.A. Jazz Scene
New York City Jazz Record
Sea Of Tranquility
Although not exactly a magazine there is also Marc Meyer’s Jazz Wax.
There is more out there, and it is comfort to know that so many enterprising individuals are engaged in writing about the jazz world.

3. Recently I received and email from Arts For Learning San Diego, announcing the upcoming sale of some special Holiday Cards, which will go on sale on December 1. Arts For Learning (A4LSD) is one of the larger organizations I was introduced to in my time on committees of the Art Education Resource Organization (AERO). The sale of the cards go to support the work of A4LSD in support of arts education in San Diego County Schools. You can find out more next week at the Arts For Learning Web-site.

4. Gigs
I actually have a gig for the next three Sundays. I’ll be covering for my friend Keith Bishop in a band that plays for Evensong at St. Michael’s By The Sea Episcopal Church, 2775 Carlsbad Blvd., in Carlsbad. The band is led by another friend, bassist Dene Davidson. The service is held outside in the court yard behind the church from 4:00 to 5:30. It will be so nice to get out and make some music for people who are actually there, and in a safe environment.
As always, thank you for supporting LIVE MUSIC (as well as its temporary substitutes)!
