[Dixielandjazz] How's Jonathan Russell Doing?

[Stephen G Barbone]

You're talking about the one with Phoebe Legere I presume?

She is a trip. She studied at the New England Conservatory, City  
College of New York and then Vassar College. Then a Masters in Music  
at New York University. Heck she even wrote a multi media opera which  
got a grammy nomination. She has taken graduate courses at Juilliard  
and has appeared in 3 or 4 movies.

She is no dummy, but rather a very hip lady whose achievements are  
legend in the underground music scene.

BTW, I messed up on Jonathan's you tube. It is a mix of Gershwin's I  
got Rhythm and Charlie Parker's Anthropology, Not Lady Be Good. He  
does Geshwin's Lady Be Good and then Thelonious Monk's Hackensack  
(same changes) with my band.

Jonathan, if you are listening, hook me up (socially) with Phoebe.  
<grin>

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
