Thought you might be interested in the response I'm getting to my Miles Davis tribute. Thanks. http://www.jefflofton.com

I wanted to send you some information about the upcoming Vital Vox Festival in New York in case it's of any interest to your blog readers. The Vital Vox Festival is happening on May 1st and 2nd in NYC at the Teatro International Theatre Arts Institute.

The first annual Vital Vox: A Vocal Festival (www.vitalvoxfest.com) will bring together a range of vocalists collaborating on a total of 8 performances. The festival's mission is to explore the human voice in its solo and ensemble forms across genres. The singers will perform original pieces as well as works by American masters like Meredith Monk & John Zorn.

The performers come from a wide variety of backgrounds from electronic music to jazz, from beatboxing to contemporary music. The artists in the festival have performed in venues like Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, JVC Jazz Festival, American Festival of Microtonal Music, and many others.

Here is a link to a small sample of the music that will be presented. The work "On Becoming" featured on the link below will also be released as a cd opening night of the festival. http://www.sashabmusic.com/sashab/Projects.html

Thanks!

Dear Mr. Mandel,
I just came across your blog and enjoyed several of the posts. I recently started my own music blog, which can be found at improvisedblog.blogspot.com. I've got a review up of Michael Adkins' Rotator, among other things. Please check it out when you have a minute.

Thanks,

Hi Howard, I heard you today on WNYC and I felt for you during your exchange with Al diMeola. I agree with everything you said ;-) ... and I understand the guy's feelings.
All the best,
Sylvain

Dear Sir:

You have an incorrect link for the Master Musicians of Jajouka (NOT "Joujouka") who are performing at the Portland Jazz Festival. The spelling of the group is Jajouka, and their official website is: http://www.jajouka.com

I hope you will look at this and correct the error. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Kenneth
