Bio
.............. ....FEATURED NEW CD RELEASES:.. .. .. Two CDs have recently been re-released involving Gil and his music. Both of these may be new to some Gil Evans fans, but they are absolute must-haves!! .. .. ..GIL EVANS: THE COMPLETE PACIFIC JAZZ RECORDINGS.. ...... .. .. This re-release (Blue Note, 2006) contains two albums Gil recorded as a leader in 1958 and 1959. The two albums contained within this re-release, New Bottle, Old Wine and Great Jazz Standards, have both gone in and out of print over the years, so it is a great pleasure to finally see them re-mastered and re-released by Blue Note. The album contains some great arrangements by Gil and some outstanding solos by Cannonball Adderley (the featured soloist on New Bottle, Old Wine), Steve Lacy, Art Blakey, Paul Chambers, and Budd Johnson, to name a few. This album is available in all major record stores and online (thanks to Blue Notes distribution) make sure you pick this up!! .. .. ..GLEN HALL/GIL EVANS: THE MOTHER OF THE BOOK.. ...... .. .. Even the biggest Gil Evans enthusiast may not have heard of this album, which is a travesty that we hope to remedy here. The Mother of the Book is a beautiful album filled with all the spirit and essence of Gil that has thankfully been re-released through the efforts of the albums leader, Glen Hall. The combination of Glens compositions and Gils lush arrangements/orchestrations create a truly amazing album full of beautiful sounds over a "thick rhythmical foundation spun out by the percussion ensemble Nexus." We are happy to bring The Mother of the Book to your attention and urge you to invest some time in discovering this album. One track is featured in the Music Player, with the generous permission of Glen Hall. We also invite you to explore the album more fully through both Glen's ..MySpace Page.. and his ..Website.., where you can purchase the new re-release of The Mother of the Book. -

Are you one of Romney's 47% Gil?
"JACKSON'S LOVE - FOR THE LOVE OF A CHILD" - MY BRAND NEW CD - HAS JUST BEEN RECORDED - WATCH FOR IT SOON @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT MITT ROMNEY'S 47% ...
"There are 47% of the people (over 141,000,000 people) who
will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47%
who are with him, who are dependent upon GOVERNMENT,
who believe that they are VICTIMS, who believe the
government has a responsibility to CARE FOR THEM, who
believe that they are ENTITLED to HEALTH CARE, to FOOD, to
HOUSING, to YOU-NAME-IT. That that’s an entitlement. And the
government should give it to them. And they will vote for this
president no matter what…These are people who pay no income
tax…MY JOB IS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE. I’ll
never convince them they should take PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY and care for their lives."
~ Mitt Romney
HE DOESN'T OFTEN INSULT HALF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE CHARGES $50,000.00 A PLATE TO HEAR HIM.

TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...
"I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest."
"I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me."
"I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap."
"I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender."
"My wife wants sex in the back of the car and she wants me to drive."
"What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife."
"This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the fruit-of-the-loom guys laughing at me."
~ Rodney Dangerfield

Have a GREAT WEEKEND Gil!
We can change the world with Kindness and Love!
TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ON THE POWER OF KINDNESS ...
"You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of
this WORLD'S HAPPINESS.
How?
By giving A FEW WORDS OF SINCERE APPRECIATION to
someone who is LONELY or DISCOURAGED.
Perhaps you will forget tomorrow what KIND WORDS you say
today, but the recipient may cherish them OVER A LIFETIME."
~ Dale Carnegie
