If you like jazz at all you should check out the Ken Burns show, now
on Amazon. If nothing else there is a lot of great music there.

I have never been able to wrap my ears around jazz at all. Sandy loves
it, but if I'm in the car we
compromise with Bluegrass, which isn't my favorite either.


There are many types of "jazz", some I like and some I don't.
I like the type that is a cross of some of the old "big band"
era tunes.

I am currently arranging and sponsoring a concert featuring a friend
Mrs.E. and I met several years ago back when I had the music shop.

She does all types of music, from rock and roll to the old classics of
the 40's and 50's. This event is going to be very cool
because she arranged some musicians who have recorded and
backed the likes of Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, and others
as her backing band.

Sample of her performing:

Wayne liked Dave Brubeck. He even performed at my high school. He grew up
in Concord, Ca. Not far from El Cerrito where I grew up. He graduated
from UC Berkeley.

We saw him once, a long time ago, at Carnegie Hall in NYC. Rumor has
it that every so often he would show up unannounced at a steak house
near here on Sanibel Island.
