Good Lord, post a mention of the Duke centennial and suddenly
everybody's a program director! There will be Ellington content next
week, but I also have to give props to plenty of fine new p2-related
releases, including Red Star Belgrade and Alejandro Escovedo. Escovdeo,
BTW, put on yet another phenominal show last night at Rosebud. If he's
coming anywhere near you, go. Bring friends, even if it's against their
will.

P.S. Anybody know who Al's bassist is for this tour? His harmony vocals
seemed familiar, but I can't place them. He answered to "Cornbread"
during the introductions.
