And all that jazz
Toronto Star – Dec 31, 2006
Poet John Keats was on the case centuries ago. He observed: "There is nothing stable in this world. You have only uproar in music. "Unlike Bourdieu Mark Miller doesn’t do dense. The author of six erudite elegant jazz books including the invaluable The Miller Companion to Jazz in Canada jazz critic for the Globe and Mail from 1978 to 2005 has always been as clear and perceptive as anyone in this eclectic field. The 91 articles in his A Certain Respect for Tradition are chosen from more than 4000 Miller wrote over the years (nearly all appeared in The Globe) pieces he likes about musicians he mostly liked. He starts with drummers Guy Nadon and Art Blakey (with a young Wynton Marsalis in his band) and ends with guitarist Pat Metheny.

Create your top 5 wants — A want is the icing on the cake. It would be nice to have all your wants but it is not necessary. It would be great for someone I am with to like smooth jazz music but it’s not something I “gotta have” in order to be happy. These three components requirements needs and wants are important to know because they make up a significant part of your relationship map and plan. Avoid your favorite dating traps — Your favorite dating trap is a pattern you frequently find your self in in relationships. They are traps because they prevent you and the relationship from being genuine and when the reality sets in the relationship can fall apart.

Daily News Tribune – Dec 31, 2006
You’ve dealt with the music now I’m going to show you what the business is about because you can’t make it without that. "’In 1964 Jones opened new doors for blacks in the music industry when he became Mercury’s vice president and also wrote his first film score for director Sidney Lumet’s "The Pawnbroker" prompting him to move to Los Angeles. Today despite his pop-music success Jones has never abandoned his first love jazz and regrets that young people get so little exposure to the music. "ne thing that’s concerned me my whole life is that every country in the world has adopted the American jazz and blues as their Esperanto and the people that know the least about it are in our country where it came from" Jones said. That’s why he’s enthusiastically welcomed the "Jazz Icons" series which he has shown to his grandchildren and endorsed as "a gift to our culture" in a publicity blurb. Producers David Peck and Galloway began work on "Jazz Icons" two years ago after the TDK label offered to invest in a jazz series drawn from Reelin’ in the Years’ vast library of music film footage from some 30 non-U.

Richard Scheinin column: Jazz: Striking concerts set for coming months. 31–You think jazz is background music for a $12 glass of pinot? Uh uh. I only mention it because this seems to be a recently emerging misconception.
Whole Albums in Concert – Music – Report – New York Times
New York Times – Dec 31, 2006
Newer albums are aired out as well: Iron Maiden is performing its latest offering “A Matter of Life and Death” on its current world tour. Such shows tend to receive positive critical attention but the current transformation of the music marketplace suggests that albums are being presented onstage because they’re becoming museum-ified relics. As digital downloading changes the way music is consumed could the album be going live because it’s dead?Maybe the album’s dead; but then maybe it isn’t. It’s become a commonplace that albums are losing their authority as artistic entities as an increasing number of people buy music song by song via services like iTunes. So playing an album live helps artists regain a modicum of creative control. The experience is like listening to a playlist but this time (as earlier) it’s the musicians and producers themselves who are devising it. What’s curious is that the same changes in music consumption that are hurting the album are helping to keep it alive… In other words a Sonic Youth concert is merely a Sonic Youth concert unless say it’s a performance of “Daydream Nation” as part of Don’t Look Back. Then it would be an event prompting reams of ink and quite a few blog entries. The album contagion has even spread to jazz primarily a live improvisational realm where one would assume studio albums aren’t such fetishistic objects. Merkin Concert Hall in New York is in the middle of a series called Reissues in which entire jazz records are performed live. Andrew Hill tackled his 1969 recording “Passing Ships” in November and in February Freddie Redd will perform “The Connection” from 1960. “If you look at the majority of jazz record sales these days they’re either reissues or projects of artists who are no longer living or artists whose ensembles are no longer together as they once were” said the co-curator Brice Rosenbloom. “So we really wanted to give the audience the opportunity to hear these projects in a live setting.
