Just read your review of Blanchard's set at Yoshi's. I saw the band's last set at Jazz Alley on the 7th.

Blanchard made a point of endorsing the many programs, like the BISC, encouraging the audience to support them, and presenting his band as an example of their output. Yes!

I'm still sorting out my own reaction to the music that evening. Certainly an entertaining show, and really a treat to see Aaron Parks continued growth.

Here are images from their set: http://brucecmoore.com/pages/blanchard.html

Thanks for your post about Sonny Rollins' new album. I saw him in Chicago this spring and thought it was one of the best concerts I've ever attended.

Thanks also for your blog. I've enjoyed reading it.

Regards, Carl
