"...you wouldn't expect him to change direction completely. But with "Sonic Trance," that's what's going on. It's his first album on a new label (Warner Brothers), and from the tone of his interviews, he doesn't want to make traditional-sounding jazz albums anymore; this is the first day of a changed career."

Shirley Horn get the J-treatment in A couple of evenings with a familiar friend..."

"It was few minutes before Shirley came onstage. The crowd was a bit more seasoned than usual. These were the true jazz lovers filled with many stories of years of great music. I often find I am one of the younger cats in the audience at her concerts. It makes me think that this was the kind of evening my dad would have enjoyed. I instantly noticed a microphone at the piano. Could it mean that our old friend will back at the helm of her Steinway? I sure hope so for I know that great piano has missed her magical touch."

Then Mr. J checked out the "Funk So Strong..." of Roy Hargrove and The RH Factor,

"That's the only way to describe it. It is not uncommon to hear a train passing by Yoshi's since the tracks are right outside but not this night. I am sure the trains had to stop and take notice of the funk up in here. Trumpeter Roy Hargrove and The RH Factor rolled onstage with a mighty thunder and a hard groove that blew the roof off the place. It may have been a little too much funk for this intimate venue but it was a great show."

Keep your own New train rolling James!
