Now THAT is a nice line up!!!!!
Jeepers, that sounds really nice.
I better start making travel plans.
The big name straight ahead stuff is great, but some of the not so well known stuff is great. Yerba Buena is really exciting, and Rizzo has been putting together some great stuff.
thanks Valerie, I will see you there and this time we'll try to hang a bit.

I, too, think it's a pretty decent line-up!! And I'll say an "amen" to our hanging, Peter!

The folks I couldn't remember in Cosby's group are: James Carter and Wallace Roney!! They sure deserve not to be forgotten!!

Just wish they had some nice jazz singers!

The only other thing I'm not particularly thrilled with is someone's choice (who won't be named) of M.C. for Sunday: Kevin Eubanks!! Hope he surprises me!
