One of the great newspaper corrections, though as many have pointed out, it’s certainly possible this was a both/and issue rather than either/or.

Counterpoint 1 with Marc Mommaas at @jazzworkshop. I’ve taken a few excellent classes with Marc, but this one in particular feels like it’s opening up a new understanding of music, both contemporary and historical.

My wife @figarova is logged out of her @Twitter account for days, looks like her account is hacked, no help from @TwitterSupport She reported 7 times and all she gets are automated messages, never had this issue since 2009!

Not many people know that I play the French horn. I hadn’t played since I was child. But after I was shot, I started speech therapy, physical therapy, and music therapy. Relearning an instrument has been a huge part of my recovery, and I’m getting stronger every day.

1/ Someone jokingly commented that Liebman-Grossman sounded like a law firm!! For sure we were tight in the early 70s, even trading the saxophone chairs with the Elvin Jones' and Miles Davis’ Groups. We WERE the happening sax players in the early ‘70s rooted in first generation
