a jazz collective in the fort? a quiet month ahead...

ran into dave williams at the market. he promises another ornettology performance "before the jazz festival" and says he's been rehearsing with a new "jazz collective" helmed by trumpeter leonard belota that also includes musos of the caliber of ex-master cylinder mastermind / longtime jubilee theatre composer-in-residence joe rogers, arts fifth avenue co-founder / mondo drummers artistic director eddie dunlap, young lion daymond callahan, etc. they're looking at a number of venues, including some of the smaller bass hall spaces. sounds like i need to give leonard a call.

it's been kind of a retrospective and introspective month at mi casa, and in the one to come, i'll be preoccupied with family stuff, promises to keep, etc. the jamcats' level of activity seems to be diminishing, and the stoogeband is taking the month off completely. i'm waiting to hear about some freelance writing stuff. be interesting to see what happens next.
