[5] Hi Ed, that was a great article, thanks! more Haiku and jazz chat (along with baseball of course) to come this winter I would imagine…am sure thelarmis and myself can easily get to 100 comments on Blue Note alone! and if the Yanks end up signing Burnett and Tex….

hey ed! thanks for the reply here. it turns out, my good pal did indeed play a gig with you. if you’re back checking this comment thread at all, please look for an email from me via your website. the subject title is: “bronx banter – thelarmis” …so hopefully that’ll give you a good heads up!

it was written to the Blue Note sounds of Art Blakey’s “Buhaina’s Delight” : )

Alex, thanks for putting this up!

And thelarmis: thanks for the comment!
I always enjoy your (and mr. OK jazz’s) commentary on Blue note and such. I especially liked the ‘haiku’ phase’. Haiku and post-bop seem to go together (pretty well.

So who is your friend that I might have played with? If you don’t wanna put names up here, drop me an e-mail at http://www.edalstrom.com.

ah, my bad! i’ve read every single one of them. i see on the sidebar that ed did indeed have one – #14 was a long time ago! thanks again for the John C. McGinley one, that rocked seeing Dr. Cox at the banter…

good luck on your side-project, alex – i’m sure it’s great, whatever it is…!

i keep getting confused seeing my comments come in an hour later than it really is and i freak out for a quick sec, thinking i’m gonna be late for work! : ~

Hey, Ed already did a lasting stadium memory so I guess that’s why I didn’t include this…although Will Weiss had a two-parter…

There should be about two more weeks of Lasting Stadium Memory pieces, and sure, I’m a have one! Stay tuned…

I’ve been consumed with a side-project for the past few days. I’ll be back to blogging more shortly…

brewers exercised cameron’s $10mil option, so that small 2-year rumor can now die. gardner will probably get every shot for CF next season. not sure if this ended up in the ‘news of the day’ comments (it wasn’t there when i checked before)…

that was a terrific piece! i’m not sure why it couldn’t be considered part of the “lasting yankee stadium memories” series. seems to fit it rather nicely. btw, how many more in that series and are we treated to one by alex belth?

i’m pretty positive a drummer buddy of mine from back home played a gig w/ ed in nyc the other year…

oh, will the clock here at the banter get changed to match up w/ daylight savings?!
