I stumbled on your blog quite by accident today after hearing Daryl Sherman on Michael Bourne’s “Singers Unlimited” on WBGO. I just released a CD, and a track from it was an “MP3 of the Day” this past Friday on AllAboutJazz.com. I would love for you to give a listen and I’ll be happy to send you a CD if you are interested.
Best, Janet

Great blog!
The Joel Zelnik Trio will be appearing at The Puffin Cultural Forum on Saturday, October 27, at 8:00 PM with the program, “My Bill Evans –A Personal Conversation”. This timely program is based on the dialogues between Joel Zelnik and Bill Evans at the “Village Gate” during the mid-1960’s. The Puffin is located at 20 Puffin Way, in Teaneck, NJ. Telephone: 201-836-3400. Admission is a $10 donation.
Joel had the great fortune of playing at the Top of the Gate in NYC during the mid 60’s, on Monday nights. It was on these Mondays that he split sets with the Bill Evans Trio, and his greatness has stayed with Joel right up to the present. Bill said to Joel,”as a musician, it’s not what you play, but how you play it.” Joel has lived that in his own piano playing no matter what style or circumstance.
Evans, was a 7 time Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award Winner and acknowledged to be the most important innovator of Jazz Piano in the late 20th century. Bill conveyed to Joel a great sense of humor, laughing about their mutual experiences in New Jersey, where they grew up. He was, and is, all that represents timeless art.
