In a life misspent in journalism I have been conditioned to find dead air and blank space unacceptable. That translates to discomfort when the blog goes unrefreshed.<br \/>\nFortunately, a solution arrived in the form of a fine video to which a friend alerted me. This is a performance in 2000 by Charlie Haden&#8217;s Quartet West at the Jazz Baltica festival in Germany. The piece is Haden&#8217;s &#8220;Hello, My Lovely.&#8221; The arrangement, presumably by Alan Broadbent, is for the quartet and the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber Orchestra. Broadbent conducts and plays piano. Haden is the bassist, Larance Marable the drummer. Tenor saxophonist Ernie Watts outdoes himself. Bill Henderson is mentioned in the on-screen credits, but he is nowhere to be seen or heard. The high quality of the picture makes full-screen viewing a good idea.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><object width=\"440\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Qvr1cdGvNpw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Qvr1cdGvNpw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"440\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><\/div>\n<p>The Haden Quartet&#8217;s debut recording of &#8220;Hello, My Lovely&#8221; is on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FHaunted-Heart-Charlie-Haden-Quartet%2Fdp%2FB0000046L7&#038;tag=rifftidougram-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325\"target=\"_blank\">this album<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It happens now and then: I am tied up on deadline for an article that demands extensive research.
