*Tweet o’ the Week: Nicholas Blundgren- Jorge Arana Trio are Kansas City's Ornette Coleman - telegraphing the future of jazz one performance at a time. No hyperbole.

*Comment o’ the Week: Stephen- Pete Kelly's Blues is one of my guilty pleasures, too. Webb could actually play cornet a bit. The speakeasy's cigarette girl is hard to recognize, but that's Jayne Mansfield in one of her first movies.
