On my way to NYC for a long (birthday) working weekend: on this event Thursday night at the Jazz Museum in Harlem with Andromeda Turre. Then a seminar on oral history at the Columbia Center for Jazz Studies. I'll catch a few concerts, fit in some book interviews, & visit to my favorite record store.
