CD Release:
"Valega’s tour de force, 'A Moment of Silence,'
is a challenging, shape-shifting number that puts the entire ensemble
through its paces."
~~ JazzTimes by Bill Milkowski, June 2010

CD Pick:
Wynton Kelly, with Wes Montgomery: Smokin' At The Halfnote"
Born on December 2, 1931, in Jamaica, Wyton Kelly was one of the most swingingest of the young cats in the 50's & 60's. He's ridiclous on this recording by Wes Montgomery!

Screwed:
The Undeclared War Against the Middle Class
By Thomm Hartmann
This book gets to the heart of the Occupy Wall Street movement: "The American middle class is on its deathbed. Ordinary folks who put in a solid day's work can no longer afford to buy a house, send their kids to college, or even get sick. If you're not a CEO, you're probably screwed."
~~Thom Hartman.

Time
Magazine's Person of the Year: The Protester
No one could have known that when a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself
on fire in a public square, it would incite protests that would topple
dictators and start a global wave of dissent. In 2011, protesters didn’t
just voice their complaints; they changed the world.
