Friends + Blog Roll

Everybody has a website—if they don't, they probably will in the near future. Since I always have trouble remembering where to find my friends all across the Internet, I thought I'd link to them here — great musicians, artists, and peers! 

Check them out:

There are many to whom I am grateful for guidance, inspiration, and wisdom (this is an incomplete list, for a variety of reasons):
And the obligatory blog roll. Here are some of the blogs I follow:
  • StuffSax - annals of mouthpiece history, treasure trove for DIY-phonists
  • Jazz Speaks — The official blog of The Jazz Gallery, a nonprofit jazz cultural center in NYC [full disclosure: I edited this]
  • Do the Math — Ethan Iverson, of the Bad Plus, the best jazz blog on the Internet
  • A Blog Supreme — Patrick Jarenwattananon, the jazz blog of National Public Radio (RIP)
  • JazzTruth — George Colligan, top-flight jazz pianist and blogger
  • Jazzblog — Peter Hum, excellent jazz blog for the Ottawa Citizen
  • Soprano Sax Talk — Sam Newsome's on soprano saxophonicism and art in general
  • Played Twice — Martin Porter, NY-based pianist and total jazz nerd (in the best way)
  • Settled in Shipping — Pianist David Ryshpan, notes from Toronto!
  • Cereal Music — Hilarious and heartbreaking on classical music from Ben Phelps
  • Mark Polishook — Thoughtful ideas on jazz piano and improvisation in general
  • Kurt Ellenberger — Essays on jazz and culture at "Also Sprach FraKathustra"
  • Jazz: The Music of Unemployment — Composer/writer Andrew Durkin's thoughts on jazz and its relationship to the outside world. Good stuff.
