I have her last two recordings. I was there and it seemed like the musicians were very serious, playing what was very challenging music, they all seemed to be very focused. It's fine not to like something, everyone is entitled to their opinion but why for instance would you make the distinction about the men in her band being white. It is my opinion (based on your writing) that you don't know that much about modern composition but the fact that you are a woman has nothing to do with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710683746158192990.post-8297385683400238692011-05-22T14:34:42.555-07:002011-05-22T14:34:42.555-07:00Dear Sophie,
I'm sorry that you felt so little...Dear Sophie,<br />I'm sorry that you felt so little respect and appreciation for my music. I dare say that while, yes my band was reading my music...I wonder if you have ever seen a big band where all of the musicians had the music memorized? I also perform in small group bands, in fact I co-lead a group doing the music of Jaki Byard, one of my former teachers, and with short tunes like the ones Tia played. In that case it is of course common to memorize the music. Perhaps you didn't understand that I am using the septet like a small big-band and am trying to create some new ideas and textures. And FYI, Taylor Haskins has played with me in my band since 1999 as has Jeff Hirshfield. On another note, I don't usually write back about comments, and certainly you have a right to your opinion and taste, I guess I just get tired of reviewers trashing something and making assumptions about something that they aren't into. I would think you would be supportive of the diversity of women and how hard we work to try to be artists. I'm sorry you felt compelled to need to do that! I must also say that I knew Billy Taylor, in fact he interviewed me the last time I played at the Kennedy Center and I am quite sure he would have been offended by your attitude as he was very open minded and supportive of all musicians, white or black, man or woman and encouraged musicians to find their personal voice, no matter what style, especially being appreciative and respectful of their honest commitment to the music. <br />Sincerely,<br />Jamie BaumJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08413350881874909580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710683746158192990.post-7901553489822789832011-03-13T14:59:13.947-07:002011-03-13T14:59:13.947-07:00Any chance you could post the playlist from 3/10/1...Any chance you could post the playlist from 3/10/11, with the women percussionist theme?<br />ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710683746158192990.post-20450783549011362292011-01-20T11:52:39.214-08:002011-01-20T11:52:39.214-08:00Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 - 10 November 2008), n...Miriam Makeba (4 March 1932 - 10 November 2008), nicknamed Mama Africa, was a Grammy Award winning South African singer and civil rights activist. In the 1960s she was the first artist from Africa to popularize African music in the U.S. and around the world. She is best known for the song Pata Pata first recorded in 1957 and released in the U.S. in 1967. She recorded and toured with many popular artists, such as Harry Belafonte, Paul Simon, and her former husband and South-African Hugh Masekela. She actively campaigned against the South African system of Apartheid. As a result the South African government revoked her citizenship and right of return. After the end of Apartheid she returned home. She died on 10 November 2008 after performing in a concert organized to support writer Roberto Saviano in his stand against the Camorra, a mafia-like organisation local to the Region of Campania. She is my warrior woman and she lives in each of us that carry her torch towards freedom and justice for every living being on mother earth! Your set is not over but for me this was a second mother that I never had the privilege of shaking hands with.Hopefully you play a song of hers or maybe you have a show just about her one day to teach others her message and her struggle.

Disposophobia is the stuff of Oprah and of the April book release "Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things." DC Politico news insider Mike Allen suffers from collector-itis, as did New York’s historically infamous Collyer Brothers, recently novelized by E. L. Doctorow (author of "Ragtime"). <br /><br />Now, live on stage, Pakrat Patty, the hoarder in “DISORDEr,” comes out of the clutter closet. Conceived in Laura Zam's Solo Performance Lab, “DISORDEr,” an uncannily recognizable and potentially alarming encounter with hoarding behavior, humanizes and humorously leavens the “clutter component” of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (“O.C.D.”) and was featured at the 2010 International O.C.D. Foundation Conference.<br /><br />More information is at:<br />http://mim.io/362a6<br /><br />Tickets are only $10, kids free with adult.<br /><br />Thank you!<br />~~HilaryHilary K.
