According to Jazz Police , Pat Martino is coming back and due to appear in NYC. The opportunity to dig this document shot 2 years after his brain surgery. Moving!

Pop Matters reviews Pat Metheny last album “The result is beautiful…. Subtle and simple, whispered rather than shouted, never anything remotely in the “guitar god” category..” and gives it a 7/10. That’s all? Harsh!

This was last year and this is not going to happen this year. Why? Because today Carlos Santana has a day off between Antibes, France and Bari, Italy. Happy Bday though!

After a five years of silence, Chico Buarque drops a new album called (what else?) “Chico” and pre-sells it directly at where you can watch all kind of videos (once you bought the CD…Clever!)

Béla Fleck is interviewed by Chicagoist :”The aspect of dance becoming foreign in jazz is unfortunate in my opinion, and we love to see people dancing to our music.” Come on, people! Dance!
