http://plaguehouse.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
On Both Their Houses. Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Doris Day's There's A Rising Moon (For Every Falling Star). Doris Day killing it as she always does. (Memo to self: track down Young At Heart (1954).). And, God damn it Academy, get this woman her Honorary Oscar stat. Links to this post. Thursday, May 09, 2013. Caitlin Rose's 'The Stand-In'. This is one terrific, very accessible album. It'll be interesting to see whether its Stone Poneys/Gram Parsons-y/generally West Coasty sound will allow The Stand-In. Nothi...

The Ear of the Mind: January 2012
http://theearofthemind.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The Ear of the Mind. Friday, January 27, 2012. Sad news today. Clare Fischer was a wonderful composer with a very rich harmonic pallete. Here's some Freddie with Blakey as a tribute:. Links to this post. Monday, January 2, 2012. New Year, New Possibilities? I am optimistic by nature. I really love the end of the year. Looking back over past events and thinking about the future always makes me feel hopeful. This year, however, I feel more optimistic than usual. I turn 40 in October. Looking back over the ...

The Ear of the Mind: April 2011
http://theearofthemind.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The Ear of the Mind. Monday, April 25, 2011. Primary Sources and Modern Inspiration. Through a lens in which most of what I hear in my head as an example of an ideal is at least 50 years old.

I love to listen to many musicians on the scene today, but for study and inspiration I always find myself going back to the primary sources. How about you? What can...

The Ear of the Mind: The constancy and consistency of practice
http://theearofthemind.blogspot.com/2012/03/constancy-and-consistency-of-practice.html
The Ear of the Mind. Sunday, March 4, 2012. The constancy and consistency of practice. The economic situation for musicians has been more difficult than usual. As I struggle to become part of the scene in New England, I hear stories and see evidence of the $50 jazz gig becoming the norm. Serious cats in NYC tell me of similar things in their world as well. That is until I came across a great article. By the saxophonist Tim Price. But, what happens when there is little on the plate. I’m not practici...

The Ear of the Mind. Thursday, November 24, 2011. Are we (musicians) our own worst enemy? I want to get these thoughts down before I slip into a food coma. A scene is created by showing up.
