Ok, so in the spirit of full disclosure, our friends at Sanyo’s PR firm sent me a Sanyo Xacti to review. And, since you all know that I have endorsed stuff (see my AlterEGO and GK posts), and you all know that I have a sense of humor, I hope that I can find a way to balance my review with at least something self-deprecating, maybe even sarcastic.

A nicely shot video of pianist William Armstrong’s recent recital at New England Conservatory of Music. Trumpet: Jason Palmer, Drums: Jon Hazilla.
A really great concert…
Best, R.
So many fun things have happened in the past few weeks – shot a music video with the Either/Orchestra; the next E/O CD, “Mood Music for Time Travelers” is finished and actually at Accurate Records world HQ (two of my compositions are on it!); and I have been writing and arranging like crazy in preparation for…
Rick McLaughlin Sextet debut concert
August 4, 2010, 8pm – midnight
Beehive, 541 Tremont Street, Boston
For more, visit.
This is going to be great! The band is amazing:
Allan Chase – alto saxophone
Phil Grenadier – trumpet
Jamie Stewardson – guitar
David Zoffer – piano
RM – bass
Pablo Bencid – drums
The music will be a mix of originals and, um, well, I’m really interested in what happens when the music of Freddie Hubbard and Cannonball Adderley meets the music of Bjork and Kate Bush. So, that’s what it will sound like.
Hope to see you there!
Best, R.
