Jazz Music – Jazz Artists – Jazz News
Below are links to some of the highlights from the jazz.com blog. Life on the Road: The Journal of a Traveling Jazz Musician: Frøy Aagre’s three-part article may be the most insightful account you will ever read about the realities of road life for most jazz musicians. It is not a pretty picture, but it was a story that very much needed to be told. Jazz and Hip-Hop: Can They Really Mix? Jared Pauley presented a smart mini-history of the courtship between jazz and hip-hop in this two-part article. And he also stirred up a mini-war on our blog pages.

How to make a small kitchen efficient I've got nothing against these grand spaces, but it always warms my heart – and my design sensibilities – to visit small kitchens that sparkle with both efficiency and style. Boat owners have long known that, with disciplined use of space and creative selection of essential kitchen tools, a small kitchen works wonderfully. The same is true for those of us (me included!) who live in homes with relatively small kitchens. We have all learned to arrange our spaces to comfortably and efficiently utilize the essentials – stove, sink, refrigerator and counter space – and to enable us to relish those memorable moments we spend in our kitchens with family and friends. I have a good friend who loves to cook, but was frustrated by the fact that the kitchen in her cottage-style home was not only small, dark and cramped, but poorly laid out.

Moody, Mumbles, Free Music & Cuba from JazzCorner.com Moody, Mumbles, Cuba and Free Gifts from JazzCorner.com After a 10 month challenge with pancreatic cancer, James Moody died on December 9th. I first met Moody in the early 80s, when I was "assigned" to interview him for an NPR New Year's Eve broadcast. It was for me, love at first sight. He was so concerned that I was at ease, and told me a silly joke just to relax. I've long forgotten the joke, but I will never forget his easy going manner, wry humor and musical versatility that served him well in a career in which he moved deftly from alto and tenor saxophones to clarinet and flute.

Setup Your Options You’ll need to decide which settings you want to run when CCleaner is run automatically… for instance, I’d look at whether or not you want to clean out your cookies or recent documents (which is a feature I use often, so I don’t want them cleaned out) Next, take a trip over to Options \ Advanced and make sure that the “Save all settings to INI file” option is checked (it should be checked by default). This makes sure that whatever settings you’ve chosen are saved out to an INI file in the same directory.
