Key links (other than L.'s website linked to above):
http://LZaide.com (pronounced L.ZAY-dee, according to L himself), including a bio page and links to text of the "memoir" for each of the tunes on the new disc. As someone who prints webpages for on-the-road-and-show reading, this one doesn't fit on pages all that easy (or allow for much cut and pasting as us bloggers like to do).
AllAboutJazz.com Review of Planet Chill..: "Zaide's vocal delivery has been compared to trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker's[~]a cool, smooth flow, a relaxed and effortless croon. The similarity is there, but he's much better technically, and a whole bunch deeper emotionally; also mix in some whispery Joao Gilberto gentleness."

Thanks sooo much Jean!! Best of luck on the Gerry Mulligan footage, hopefully it will soon be out..or well baked as Jean metaphorically put it!
1/26/06 8:08 pm PT - Thelonious Monk / John Coltrange - At Carnegie Hall - Crepuscule With Nellie
I'm so glad I picked this to lead into the Jean Bach - A Great Day In Harlem interview...Jean seemed to like it and said that everyone back on the day in 1958 were smiling with Monk...I always smile when I hear Monk!
Chatting with the artist about the tunes, the concept of the album, his introduction to the standards he interprets on the New disc, his time in Vegas, and more...great chat L.Zaide!!
1/26/06 7:08 pm PT - L.Zaide - Planet Chill: Memoir of a Jazz Band - Night & Day
Kicking off the interview segment with an artists suggested tune...I love this tune to start with...and the lyrics, as L.Zaide is about to reinforce...totally suggestive.
And I like the way it starts out moody and then gets wild!!
1/26/06 6:55 pm PT - Ivo Antognini - Feggari Mou - New little light
Nice inventive, creative thing moving out of Hour 1 into our next phase, the introspective and further reaching Hour 2...thanks for getting us there Ivo!
1/26/06 6:10 pm PT - STeve Tyrell - Songs of Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon
You go Steve...some folks don't dig you too much here, but I kinda like the gravelly Jazz voice thing...it's not the same sweet songbird Thing we are getting lots of these days...
...maybe something a bit more adventurous next time out?
