ARTICLE: "Jazz pianist McCoy Tyner: No standing on...
Check out my review of the McCoy Tyner Trio’s show at the Mahaiwe Theatre in Great Barrington Sunday night, published in today’s Berkshire Eagle.

ARTICLE: "Moving beyond the past" (McCoy Tyner)
Check out my advance feature on legendary pianist McCoy Tyner’s upcoming performance at the Mahaiwe Theatre in Great Barrington, Mass., published in today’s Berkshire Eagle.

1961: "Afro Blue"
Great footage of John Coltane’s classic quartet—pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones—playing “Afro Blue” on television in 1961. Tyner plays Great Barrington’s Mahaiwe Theatre (sorry and with all due respect, but I don’t get how something can be a “performing arts center” with only one stage/event space) on Sunday. Catch my...

Photos: Winter Series I (2010)
I’ve uploaded a new set of photos to my webpage: Winter Series I (2010). They’re really just the fruit of a week or two of photography, but I’ve been out of the game for a bit (due to lack of a camera), so I’m excited to share. Take a look, if you’d like.

The best part was Lady Gaga's hat
The guy behind her is moments away from serious eye injury.
So: the big three categories split three ways, the token rock band unexpectedly won Record of the Year, Beyonce broke her own record (previously shared with five other artists) for most wins by a female artist in one night (!), and my only real prediction—that Lady Gaga might get shut out of all three biggie awards—bore fruit.
