Bruce Lundvall, CEO Of Blue Note Records
" I'd like people to say, that Lundvall was able to support Alfred Lion's vision and be true to it. Bruce Lundvall "
All About Jazz: Mr. Lundvall, I'm excited to do this interview with you, and I feel honored. I'm reviewing Richard Cook's new book Blue Note Records: The Biography, and I thought that I would interview you as the CEO of Blue Note to get your perspective on the record company and its history, as well as the book. My first question is the inevitable, 'What are your all-time favorite Blue Note recordings?'
Bruce Lundvall: I knew you'd ask that! One Night with Blue Note with Art Blakey, Clifford Brown, Horace Silver, Lou Donaldson, and Curly Russell. Dexter Gordon: Go!. Obviously, Blue Trane. Bud Powell: The Genius of Bud Powell. And of course, the early Monk on Blue Note. And the Herbie Nichols recordings. He's fabulous, a real underrated artist, very original. Those are some of my real favorites.
AAJ: Have you read Cook's new 'biography' of Blue Note Records?
BL: Of course.
AAJ: What are some of your thoughts about the book?
BL: I think it's a very accurate chronological description of what went on all those years. It could've used some more anecdotes, and some day we'll have them. I think Richard did a great job. The only problem I had was when he described me as being 'portly.' (Laughter)
AAJ: That's a very important historical fact. (Laughter.)
BL: Very much so.
AAJ: Were there particular parts of the book that leaped out at you or brought back strong memories?
BL: Essentially, I thought he chronicled the Alfred Lion period very well. I knew Alfred for the last two years before he passed away, and he gave me much insight about how the company operated, and how hard it was. You know, they were always a couple of steps ahead of the creditors. Some of the stories, such as how they picked up John Coltrane at a drug store and brought him on the session with Johnny Griffin and Hank Mobley, and so on- those things are all true. But there's a bigger story to be told, I think, and I'm hopeful that at some point, it becomes an inclusive story, hopefully for our seventieth anniversary, which ain't too far away. That will bring the history of the label completely up to date.
AAJ: So there's a lot missing in the book?
BL: Oh, but that's OK! Cook basically chronicled the whole Lion-Wolff period, which is what needed to be done. But I would like to see at some point that the history is updated, because it has been a continuum. Yet Alfred is still our inspiration, obviously.
AAJ: What do you recall about the time in 1960 when you went to see Lion about a job with Blue Note, but nothing materialized for twenty-something years!
BL: What happened was that I was at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania, and, as would always happen with graduating seniors, you'd be interviewed by the big companies, such as IBM, Xerox, etc. So I went through a few of those, and I thought, 'This isn't what I want to do. I want to be in the record business.' I graduated in 1957, and started to look for a job in the record business. The first label I went to was Blue Note, and I just knocked on the door- I didn't even call them! I was very na've. All I remember was that Alfred Lion was there with a couple of people. He was very polite, and all he said, with his German accent, was 'Vee don't hire nobody- it's just Frank and me.' And that was that- I was out the door in five minutes! So for me to be running this label after all these years, it's thrilling. It was always my favorite label. You know, I would buy Blue Note recordings as a kid, without having to hear them first, because the quality was so consistently good.
AAJ: What was it about the quality of these recordings that led you and so many others to feel that they were the best?
BL: Well, this question has been discussed many times. For one thing, Lion always gave a full day of rehearsals, and he always had a concept in mind when he brought the musicians into the studio. They were never just 'blowing' sessions as some of the other labels had done. They were all planned. And he always had the best players. And Blue Note was always the company that seemed to find the next new musical voice. For example, I never heard of saxophonist Tina Brooks, but I bought the record and I said, my God, this guy is sort of like Mobley, but he's different! He's great! Lion would always come up with that sort of talent. So, the catalogue stands very much on its own. Of course, Prestige did some great records too, by the way. But during the forties and fifties, when I started buying my first LP's- one of the earliest I bought was the 10 inch LP of Bud Powell. Then I bought Herbie Nichols. I had to live with it for a month before I understood anything he was doing. I was a kid, just getting into this music.
AAJ: So Lion and Wolff had an instinct'
BL: They had a very good instinct, and they always had a good concept of what they wanted in the studio. And the sound quality was always first rate, obviously. And the pressings were always excellent.
AAJ: Speaking of the sound quality, we're talking here in large part about sound engineer Rudy Van Gelder. I wonder what you see as the special abilities and personal qualities of Rudy that led to such exceptional recordings.
BL: He knew how to 'mic' the artists. He said that Alfred told him what he wanted to hear, and Rudy delivered it. It was as much Alfred or a team. We spoke often to Rudy about this, and he said, 'Alfred knew what he wanted. He wanted that 'presence' of the drums, of the horns into the microphone, and he came up with a sound that was very much his own. And it made the recordings so exciting. Alfred was also the one that got the players inspired. I understand that he went to Harlem and other places to pick up the musicians, drive them over to New Jersey, get food and liquor for them. And he created a very friendly and warm atmosphere in the studio- and all the musicians said that as well. But Rudy was very much a stickler for sound. And he would not let anyone touch the board controls. I think he's still that way, today. And apparently, he did wear white gloves! There were times when he wouldn't let the musicians touch the piano unless the green light was on, etc! So he was very much a stickler. But he was a very wonderful man. I had dinner with him not long ago.
AAJ: What's Rudy doing these days?
BL: He's still recording in that studio in Englewood Cliffs. We (Blue Note) still use him from time to time. These days, it's difficult because artists have their own choice of studios, while in those days everything was recorded there.
AAJ: Let me ask you one more historical question, and then we'll bring it up to date. What inspired you to make the groundbreaking decision to bring Dexter Gordon onto the label in the 1980's?
BL: Well, Dexter was always one of my favorite players. When I was at Columbia Records, I'd never seen him play. I was at John McLaughlin's wedding reception at the Plaza Hotel, and a friend said, you know, Dexter Gordon is playing in town. I said, 'My God!' So we made an excuse to leave the reception, and ran over to this club on 57th Street, and there was Dexter with Woody Shaw, George Cables. He was incredible! So I went back stage and I said I want to sign you to Columbia Records. He replied, 'CBS?' ' hilarious, in that deep voice. So we signed him. And Dexter and I became very good friends over that time, so when I went over to Blue Note, we signed him on here. And it's sad, because he never recorded for us, except for Part II of the Round Midnight film.
AAJ: Let's try to bring us up to date. We know that the hallmark of Blue Note Records is integrity. What has it been in your own life and experience that leads someone like yourself, who is in fact a business person, to put the quality of music equal to or above the financial considerations. What produced that idealism in a CEO such as yourself?
BL: My belief is that if you sign an individual artist, and artist that has their own sound, their own concept, and is doing something important musically, that in the end, you will win. Obviously, we have made commercial records just as Alfred did in his day, with the organ trios, etc. But we try to keep our roster focused on strong individual artists who are moving the music ahead. So well sign a Jason Moran or a Greg Osby. Or we'll stay with a Joe Lovano for a long time. Or we'll sign a Gonzalo Rubalcaba from Cuba, or a Patricia Barber. And I think the label has to speak to its time. It is an art form. And as long as we're making a profit for the company, and we have since we began, basically because of the great catalogue that Alfred built, I've never been bothered by the corporate 'suits'- Oh, you've got to drop this artist or that artist because he's losing money. We have some artists who are losing money for us, but they're so important because they're building a catalogue for the future. And that's what I'm really aiming at. And when we have a Cassandra Wilson who does sell a lot of records, or a Norah Jones, who sells millions of records- Dianne Reeves does very well for us. Medeski, Martin, and Wood sells and makes a profit. Lovano makes a profit. If you keep your eye on costs, and you don't do crazy things'I've seen it happen that when an artist gets hot, a record company pays a fortune for an album. Well, you can't do that in jazz, unless the artist is selling well enough to justify that. We have a very close relationship with the artists on the label. There are times, for example, when Joe Lovano has wanted to make a more financially ambitious record- like a big band or orchestrated record- he'll take a smaller advance. We can discuss it, because he knows he can trust me. And that we're not trying to get in the way of his creative vision.
AAJ: What is the role of the producer in this process?
BL: The producer is usually the one that's in the studio, making the record, advising the artists on the right takes, and also suggesting songs, tempos, etc. and even conceptual ideas for albums. Less so today, because the jazz artists themselves know what they want to do. I just listened last night to the most extraordinary new Pat Martino record which will be coming out late this summer. This is the best record he's ever made and it's so unpredictable for him- he used Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Lewis Nash on drums, Christian McBride on bass, and Joe Lovano on tenor. It's quite a configuration, and it is just so fresh and exciting. And that was really Pat's concept.
AAJ: So you really dialogue with the musicians.
BL: Well we do that all the time. And with Lovano, he's got a new idea every two minutes. So we sit down, and he's got four or five projects, so I say, 'Joe, how many projects can we make this year?! Let's go with the one that makes the most sense.
AAJ: Which engineers are you using these days?
BL: We still use Rudy. James Farber. We use many good engineer-producers.
AAJ: What are your goals for Blue Note Records in the next decade? What would you like our readers- fans, musicians, historians, scholars- to know?
BL: I would like the label to represent the most important artists in jazz. Whether they are older artists or new ones coming up. I want the artists that will push the music ahead. When I'm dead or retired, I'd like people to say, that Lundvall was able to support Alfred Lion's vision and be true to it. Even though it's quite different, for example we have many more vocalists than he. I think the label has to represent the culture we're in today. If we can be representative of the best in jazz, and have the best artists, the ones who really make a difference. We'll never have them all- of course not. But I'm so proud of the roster that we have now. We've just signed Wynton Marsalis. He joined us, he said 'You're the only jazz label! And I want to be with you.' I signed Wynton to Columbia Records. So he's joined the roster.
AAJ: So it's about pushing the envelope'
BL: Well, not only that- there's a tradition in this music also. It's just that you want to have the most exemplary and influential artists in jazz on your label. And I also want to have the ones who I think are moving the music ahead in a fresh way. You've also got to keep the label profitable so that no one tampers with it- that can happen when you're part of a large corporation. As long as we deliver a good bottom line, which we've done every year. That being the case, the company has supported the whole operation. And I've been with seven or eight different bosses since I've been here! I've been very lucky, because they've supported the music.
AAJ: I've thoroughly enjoyed this interview, but I know that you're very busy'
BL: The last thing I should say is that I'm really supported by a staff here who are all musicians. Yeah, I've got a very musical climate. I've got the best general manager in Tom Evered. He's a total musicologist. He knows everything about classical music and jazz. He graduated from music school, a trombone player and pianist. I've got the greatest A&R man in the world here, not for Blue Note as much as the Manhattan label, Arif Mardin. He produced the Norah Jones record, and just completed a wonderful Dianne Reeves record for Blue Note. He's a man with forty gold and platinum records, Grammies, etc. He works for me! It's a miracle. It's a whole team of people, a small team, but there all big fans of jazz. So, when an artist is performing in town, they're there. Sometimes, the musicians complain that the people at the record companies never show up. But I go all the time, including hearing the new people. So does Michael Cuscuna. He still produces records for us. He just did the Terence Blanchard record for us. And he does all of our re-issue programs, of course.
AAJ: Thank you, Bruce, for a very informative and reflective interview.

In 1921, Colonel Jacob Ruppert, the co-owner of the New York Yankees, needed to get his team out from under the thumb of the New York Giants, his landlords at the Polo Grounds, in Harlem, and build his own stadium. Having looked at a plot occupied by an orphan asylum in upper Manhattan, some land in Long Island City, and an area on the West Side, over the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks, he settled on the Bronx. Just across the Harlem River from the Polo Grounds, he erected the largest and grandest stadium in baseball. Yankee Stadium, which opened in 1923, was a haughty structure designed to give the game a feeling of permanence lacking in earlier, scrappier ballparks, like Fenway Park, in Boston, Wrigley Field, in Chicago, and Ebbets Field, in Brooklyn. Unlike the builders of older ballparks, Ruppert didn't have to contort the stadium to fit the lines of city streets. The stadium could spread out and lift high; it was the first ballpark to have three full tiers of seats. Nestled beside elevated subway tracks and across from the playgrounds and basketball courts of Macombs Dam Park, Yankee Stadium rose above its surroundings.
There is nothing so revolutionary in Yankee Stadium's replacement, which opens just to the north, across 161st Street, on April 3rd, when the Yankees host the Chicago Cubs for an exhibition game. (The first regular-season game is on April 16th, against the Cleveland Indians.) The new Yankee Stadium, designed by the architectural firm HOK Sport, is effectively an attempt to atone for the brutal 1973 renovation of Ruppert's building, which removed the historic ambience without adding much in the way of modern amenities. HOK has reincarnated the old stadium, but with clearer sight lines, luxury suites, plenty of places to eat, and, finally, sufficient bathroom facilities. It has tried hard, very hard, to make us think of its predecessor, with sumptuous architectural effects that have the self-important air of a new courthouse built to look as if it had been there since William Howard Taft was President. When you first go in, you find yourself in the so-called Great Hall, an enormous space covered with a translucent roof, and from there you move into the concourses and toward the seats. Lest you forget that you are there not only to watch a baseball game but also to soak up the stadium's noble lineage, there's a reproduction of the famous scalloped frieze that adorned the old stadium's upper deck. Outside, there is a façade of limestone, granite, and cast stone, with high, narrow arched openings and entry portals that seem designed for the ceremonial arrival of the Pope, Queen Elizabeth, or at least George Steinbrenner.
Also about to open is the New York Mets' new home—the first time that two major-league stadiums have opened in the same city at the same time. Citi Field, which people are already calling TARP Field, or Bailout Park, opens on March 29th, with a college game. (The Mets play an exhibition game there on April 3rd and their first regular-season game on April 13th.) Like the new Yankee Stadium, Citi Field is right next door to its predecessor and was designed by HOK Sport. The firm has pretty much cornered the market in sports facilities in recent years; in 1992, it designed the most influential ballpark of modern times, Baltimore's Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The Orioles insisted that the new park have the ambience of an old-fashioned one and feel connected to the city, and HOK, scrapping an earlier design, obliged. Camden Yards launched a generation of so-called retro-classic ballparks, a style to which both of New York's new stadiums conform, even though they look vastly different from each other.
The previous home of the Mets, Shea Stadium, opened in 1964, at a time when architects seemed to think that their mission was to purge baseball fields of asymmetry, idiosyncrasy, and anything that seemed remotely related to a park's surroundings, and to offer up instead gigantic doughnuts of concrete that looked like highway interchanges. (Other notable examples of the genre sprang up in Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Cincinnati, and St. Louis.) Citi Field is pleasanter in every way than the harsh stadium it replaces. The park has a casual feel, with warm red brick inside, lots of amenities, great sight lines, and a layout that's easy to navigate. There are forty-two thousand seats, fifteen thousand fewer than Shea had, all a calm dark green and arranged in somewhat irregular tiers, bringing you much closer to the field than before. The complex has an energetic composition of brick façades, and dark-gray steel elements, which are said to have been designed with the great steel arch of Hell Gate Bridge in mind, and give the place a feel that is as much industrial as retro.
As for the retro-classic side of Citi Field, the Mets, having no ancient ballpark of their own to evoke, have appropriated someone else's. The architects, whose Camden Yards design incorporated features of several historic ballparks, have here wrapped an imitation of the façade of the much mourned Ebbets Field around the southern corner of the new structure, and the old Brooklyn stadium likewise inspired the form of the entry rotunda. The Mets treat the National League's New York history as if it were abandoned property, which, in a way, it is. But does that mean it is there for the taking? True, the identity of the Mets—whose colors combine the blue of the Dodgers and the orange of the Giants—has thrived on a magpie element, but there's something a bit dishonest about naming the rotunda for Jackie Robinson, who never wore a Mets uniform. A pastiche of the Dodgers' former field in Brooklyn pasted onto the façade of a different team's twenty-first-century ballpark in Queens is less a historical tribute than it is an act of make-believe.

For a setup issue, this was extremely good. I'm on board for the long haul.
I'm autistic. What's your excuse?
AKA Muffin, Rear Admiral Nerdcock...
Y'know that thing I said that got you offended? I was just joking.
I enjoyed this. I appreciate that Marvel's created a fresh starts for readers like myself, who haven't really been following their output lately, while not having to reset continuity the way DC did. Seems like it will make things smoother going forward.
My favorite thing here was, as many have already said, that Banner actually has some kind of a direction. That in itself should lead to some new situations for the character. Looking at the character now, it almost seems silly no one's thought to have Banner as the driving force behind the story before.
How was this? I skimmed it pretty fast in the store (Like read some monologues, looked at a few pages, and it seemed like the art was too flashy. Also, is it true that Banner is in a tiny floating robot and that Banner and Hulk split? Cause that sounds incredibly stupid. I like my scientists in bodies that you very much.
This comic felt like an extension of the Incredible Hulk and Avengers movies. I think new Hulk readers will like it!
Read this, and while it's a competent story, I'm not really happy with it for three reasons:
1. It basically ignores most of the Hulk's recent history, going back to the Pak era, if not before. This is hardly the first time Bruce has focused on his science (does the word "Bannertech" ring any bells?). Waid is usually better than this.
2. There's no indication the Hulk has any intellect at all. Childlike, sullen, whatever. I don't even think he gets any dialogue.
3. Banner doesn't "feel" like Banner. Or look like him, for that matter. His character design is so generic, the only way I knew it was him is the dialogue saying so.
It's not a BAD issue. Just not a great one.
Mario Di Giacomo
I really enjoyed Jason Aarons run on the incredible hulk. Yeah it was a bit weird and it suffered from some bad art ( yeah whilce it's you I'm talkin about) but at the same time it was fresh and imaginative and always had me excited for the next issue.
The last issue (#15 i think) was really great and the way hulk and banner finally choose to put their differences aside and work together ( because in the end all they have is one another) was done beautifully ( and jefte palo did an amazing job). The final page also showed us the advantages of their new found bond when banner can wish himself into becoming hulk instantly. There was this great feeling of their partnership - changing from brains to brawn (and vice versa) almost instantly and whenever they felt like it.
The last page also said HULK UNITED and that's a comic book I'd love to read! I feel like Mark Waid ( who is awesome by the way) undid all of that a made hulk just a beserker animal again to be pointed at a fight, while banner is becoming another stereotypical scientist who could cure the world of all of its problem in a month ( like reed, like tony, like hank-both of them, like peter .....blabla their smart's is over the top i'ts becomin ridiculous), isn't he a nuclear physicist? The hell is he doing makin filters for water?!
Not too big of a stretch that he can tackle contamination, given comic science logic.
I would agree with the feel that Bruce/Hulk was a bit generic... if we didn't see him lose his temper when they discussed Stark. There's more than meets the eye, but right now dude is indestructible. Hulk is something he lives with, not the other way around. Sorry to the...Aaron run fans...
I dug the super speed thing.
The art was absolutely horrid. But its cool. There's no way leinil yu's slow ass is lasting more than 3-4 issues. HAH!
Currently reading She-Hulk, Deadpool, Swamp Thing, Ms. Marvel
Probation: Ghost Rider, Loki: LoA, Secret Avengers
Looking forward to All-New Ultimates, Flash Gordon and Doctor Mirage.
Exactly. Mio, you really should look into his last collab with Waid, Birthright.
Loved this issue can't wait for #2
This was pretty cool, I'm down for issue 2. The Thinker was just funny and I liked everything in Banners pitch to Hill in the cafe. Leinel just rocks it and Waid always knows what he's doing.
It;s strange - add this to Aarons Thor and Remenders Cap and I'm actually, surprisingly, becoming a little excited about Marvel NOW. Which I didn't expect too happen. Heh, cool. These three books are just giving off a great vibe and it makes me more interested to check out whats next from Marvel over the next couple months.
Mark Waid is a genius. Can't wait for issue #2 and #3 with the Quintronic Man. I'm on board until Waid leaves.

Surprisingly excellent fish! – I went to Mr Cod last weekend with my kids just as something different, and I would definitely go again. It was great! I don't like fish per say, so I had chicken with chips, and it was really tasty. My kids had fish and shrimp platter things, with chips too, and they both loved it and have asked if I can cook something like that for them. (No I can't, is the anwer by the way. That's why we go out so much!) The deals, such as the fish and shrimp platter, are value for money in hard times, whilst the stand-alone dishes are slightly on the expensive side. Either way, good value for money all round I would say, and the kids loved it. What more could I ask for? The staff were also really helpful and understanding in clearing up my little ones spilt soda!!

Universal Healthcare Closer to Reality for U.S.Posted: Friday, February 02, 2007
President Bush and candidates for President are all on board to push for Universal Healthcare. The 42 million people without health insurance, including those with diabetes may now have some hope.
President Bush earlier this week announced two health care proposals, including one that would offer a federal tax deduction of $7,500 for individuals and $15,000 for families who obtain health insurance on their own or through an employer, regardless of the cost of the coverage. The proposal would for the first time levy a tax on the value of employer-sponsored health insurance in some cases. Currently, most employees are not taxed on the value of their employer-sponsored health insurance. Under the proposal, individuals and families with employer-sponsored health insurance plans worth more than the proposed allowable deductions would pay taxes on the difference. The deduction would be available to all individuals and families who purchase health insurance, regardless of the value of their policies or whether they itemize deductions on their tax returns. For U.S. residents who receive employer-based health insurance, the deduction would be offset by the cost of their coverage.
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), a 2008 presidential candidate, on Thursday said all U.S. residents should have health care coverage within the next six years. Obama was "previewing what is shaping up to be a theme of the 2008 Democratic primary."
Rival Democratic presidential candidates former Sen. John Edwards (N.C.), Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Rep. Dennis Kucinich (Ohio) also support universal health care. At a Families USA conference, Obama said, "I am absolutely determined by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal health care in this country". He said the U.S. must consider whether "the employer-based system of health care itself is still the best for providing insurance to all Americans" at a time "when businesses are facing increased competition and workers rarely stay with one company throughout their entire lives." He added, "I think there are a variety of ways" to achieve universal coverage, "but I think that one of the things that we're going to have to look at is portability. I don't think we immediately replace the employer-based system, but I think that setting up pools that provide a capacity for more and more people to not be dependent on an employer for their health care is important."
Obama did not introduce a universal health plan, but said after his speech that he would be working to develop one "over the next several months." Obama said broad bipartisan interest in the issue has "effectively ended the debate over whether or not we should have universal health care in this country." According to CQ HealthBeat, Obama's speech appeared to give him "a rhetorical jump on [Rodham] Clinton on the health care issue" by saying universal health care should become law no later than 2012. Rodham Clinton has not given a timetable for her own plan (Reichard, CQ HealthBeat, 1/25).

Best fun you can have in the water !!
This is the third time I have brought the Waboba Pro Ball - NEW! I have one for myself and have bought 2 for my nephews. When you are in the shallows on holiday, you can throw this little ball around for hours and not get bored as every throw is different. You can have 2 to 20 players, it will get a few people smiling.
Even the most tedious holiday companion will be transformed into a fun playmate when the Waboba Ball is involved! It's impossible not to have an awesome time in the pool or the sea with this irrepressible little ball. There's so many amusing (and bizarre) games you can create in the swimming pool with this little guy who refuses to stay underwater for long! No matter how much abuse you subject the Waboba to, it carries on being awesome. As far as I can tell, it's invincible! Highly recommended, regardless of whether your holiday mates are fun or not.
All i can say is Waboba!
Oh my Gosh! No holiday should go without one of these little babys! I have just returned back from a holiday in Sri Lanka with a wedding party of 30 people and every single person wanted a go with this ball. It is amazing. You can skim it and it will bounce more than 50 meters or you can bounce it high. The most fun weve had in ages. We made up games where we had to get it past each other and you scored points if you achieved this. I cant say enough good things about this ball and i will definately never go abroad again without my Waboba!
The must have beach toy for summer o-ten!
I've seen a few people say this balls don't bounce on water! YES THEY DO!!! however they are not designed for swimming pools but the sea/ocean/salty water! (they did just release a new waboba in yellow for pools) ALSO you need to throw the balls like you would when youre skimming a rock. If you're throwing between 2 people throw it half a meter above the water and aim to hit the halfway point between the two of you, IT WILL DEN FLY, and if he/she misses it it will bounce 10+ more times 20 meters onwards before stopping :)))))))
o what a lark! Messing about on the water!
I didn't believe the hype but was intrigued enough to give it a go. And it was brill! Not sure if a goat could do this in a Spanish pool but this little ball was amazing! I expected it to sink as its quite weighty but it never went under. We had a whale (ahem) of a time in the sea with it...skimming stones only in this case the 'stone' comes back to you! Oh and its pretty darn fine for splashing people in the face with!
Waboba ball
The Waboba ball was absolutely amazing. Although it doesn't bounce quite as well as they claim on water, it was great fun for lots of people. We started of in a (quite small - not recommended!) pool in Barbados with only three of us bouncing the ball around. By the time we were finished, all the pool, including the lifeguard we bouncing that little ball of fun around with lots of people asking me where i bought it (IWOOT of course!) I would definitely buy it because it is as fun a being rolled down a hill in a big bouncy ball! Although definitely buy the bright orange one because the darker coloured ones tend to go missing, or maybe people enjoyed them so much they took it away.....:)
It took a few minutes to suss this out, but were soon bouncing this baby high and fast off of the water surface! Of course we were in a pool in a villa at the top of a very tall hill, so in the end the ball was lost and the fun over :) Well, at least I got the last throw! Therefore I recommend that this ball be used in a large body of water/space, as once you get the knack it will travel far and fast! I will try the pro ball next for sure!
What a fun ball you have
It was like throwing a comical grenade, missing unsuspecting fellow holiday goers by mear inches accidently i assure you :). I was hoping for to lay in the sun, but this very very fun ball kept me in the sea. I must of made 10 friends just because i had wisely invested in this ball. Well done. Would recommend every active person to purchase one before your holiday or even just to have at home.
So good I came back for more!
I bought a Waboba ball for my husband last Christmas and he loves it! He used it that much on our holidays that all the colour faded from it! It really kept him and friends quiet while I tanned! So this year I've bought him the Waboba ball extreme! But I don't know if I can wait until Christmas to give him it!

Mmmm I LOVE Roasted tomatoes! That photo is pure perfection!
Roasted Tomatoes
*Photo and Content Updated May 2012*
Inspiration: This past Sunday was one of those lazy, stay in bed watching TV mornings for me. I turned on the Food Network and was happy to catch some of my favorite shows (Giada, Barefoot Contessa, Bobby Flay) that I never seem to be able to watch anymore because they've all been replaced by endless hours of cake competitions. Ina Garten was preparing a caprese salad using roasted tomatoes, and they just looked so fabulous that I knew that I had to give them a try soon. I happened to have a bunch of tomatoes in the fridge last night and no other vegetable to serve with my lemon pesto swordfish, so it was the perfect opportunity for me to try these out.
What we Loved: These tomatoes had a lovely rich and sweet flavor. Not only does the balsamic vinegar contribute to that great sweetness, but roasting the tomatoes in the oven really just brings out their natural sugars. Combined with the savory elements of garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese, we couldn't get over how intensely flavorful these tasted. Warm, sweet, garlicy, and rich, a little bite of these tomatoes went perfectly atop a piece of swordfish with pesto and pinenuts.
Helpful Hints: This recipe is fairly straightforward, but I will say that I think you can be liberal with the amounts of seasonings and oils that you use. I didn't measure anything but basically drizzled/sprinkled on what I thought looked good, and the tomatoes turned out great. Next time, I think I'll use even more balsamic vinegar, because I really loved the flavor that it gave the tomatoes. Also, the easiest way to remove the seeds from the tomatoes is the way that I saw Ina do it on her show. Simply slice the tomatoes into quarters, and use your fingers to scrape out all of the insides.
Roasted Tomatoes
Source: Adapted from Ina Garten
As I noted above, I think it basically works to use as much or as little of each of the ingredients as you'd like. If you'd like precise measurements, please see Ina's original recipe.
Tomatoes, cut into quarters with cores and seeds removed
Extra virgin olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Garlic, minced
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Parmesan cheese, finely grated
1. Preheat the oven to 450.
2. Arrange the tomatoes on a foil-lined sheet pan, cut sides up and in a single layer. Drizzle the tomatoes with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper, and Parmesan.
3. Roast the tomatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until the flavors are concentrated and the tomatoes are beginning to caramelize.
8 thoughts on "Roasted Tomatoes"
I just discovered the joy of the roasted tomato and have been making a huge batch of them every week for three weeks now! I never thought to put sugar on them, but I'll have to try that next time.
Your tomatoes look so pretty. Mine always end up squishy looking! I love roasted tomatoes so much though, I don't even care.
these look delicious!
I love roasted tomatoes…perhaps even more than just plain tomatoes. These look great.
i made these last night- they were really amazingly good- and so simple. will definitely be making them again.
