Congrats to the team ;)

"Jimmy Smith is the jazz king on the organ, but when it comes to blues, I can do things where he can't touch me," McGriff once said. Amen. The funky bluesologist has passed away. Organs in Philadelphia will be crying for years to come.

akin to Bilal in that there is a hip-hop aesthetic and thus he's thoroughly modern but this is a jazz singer with a soul vibe rather than Bilal's soul singer with a jazz vibe. Sounds like Johnny Hartman, Jon Lucien and Andy Bey.

"I would say that my sound is a romantic sound. It's water. It's ocean. It's tranquility." Jon Lucien's music, his rich Caribbean baritone and his cosmopolitan swagger were evidence of an always, already freedom.

Drummers aren't supposed to be intellectuals. The instrument is so direct and intense that it purportedly attracts only your more, ah... physical types. Max Roach was an intellectual — the best kind of intellectual.

In the last half of the 20th century, there was no more influential drummer in jazz, no greater master of melody in the rhythm mode, than Max Roach. Thanks to his total command of polyrhythms, dynamics and coloration, "Greatest Ever, Drums."

Interesting notes on using RCP for IT management tasks. The need for operating at the batch level. Sounds like Jazz and Mylar could help out.

Jazz, Spring, and OSGi.
