FROM LAST WEEK: Julius Tolentino. Julius has a smokin' great new album out, "Just The Beginning", which climbed to #8 on the JazzWeek charts, currently at #18. He cut some chops with the Illinois Jacquet Big Band and it sure shows with a great ensemble outing on the new one. In Hour 3. UPDATE: MP3s Online!!

This is a disc that is getting lots of plus and minus reviews...and lots of pre-press on the whole European Jazz Thing...we've got to get Esbjorn on this show!!
I will be posting what I know about this subject this week...
1/19/06 8:00 pm PT - James Carter - Out of Nowhere - Along Came Betty
Great freakin' wild thing to open up Hour 3 with...and boy do I need wild because I'm feeling wild and PO'd....I just discovered that in my haste to make the interview with Ed happen in another booth because of the unreliable equiptment (not so recently, I must admit, but...), I did not get my CD recording started...CD in the recorder, Record just not pushed...damn...
...back to this wild tune...most excellent James!!!
1/19/06 7:55 pm PT - Bob Brookmeyer - And Friends - The Wrinkle
Coming out of the interview with NEA Jazz Master Bob Brookmeyer...he would be a great interview...especially now with his new honors and new re-issue...
Ed and I (finally!!!) chat about Jazz record labels, small vs. big, impact for listeners of multiple channels of Jazz, independent labels and artists vs. the bigs, his thoughts on highlights from the IAJE 2006 conference, and what's up next in JazzWeek.
Thanks Ed....sorry for no recording on my end...at least the interview happened!!
1/19/06 6:05 pm PT - Nat Yarbrough - Triple Play - Un Poco Loco
A great, up-tempo way to kick off the show and Hour 1...
Note: I'm posting this during Hour 3 and despite the wild and carefree blowing of James Carter to kick off Hour 3, I'm sooooooooo pissed at the turn of events for my interview with Ed Trefzger...no fault of his...but engineering failed and in the process of us running around the studio trying (and eventually succeeding) to make the interview come off...I was not able to get a New CD in the recorder and pushed...so not interview recorded and no audio...damn...
1/12/06 8:55 pm PT - Annie Sellick Interview Promo / George Klabin Rising Jazz Stars Foundation
...sorry Annie...look forward to talking to you next week about your disc....
...hi George...telling us about his foundation...and the work recording, audio and video artists...sounds like it would be a great thing to blog...and then include the blogged content in with the video and such...released on the web...that's right...George wants to do this...ah....
...and the next show...Steve Kuhn...ending tonight with New from....
