Houston Astros Continue To Get Younger By Dealing Jarred Cosart
The Houston Astros made a surprising move before the MLB Trade Deadline in dealing starting pitcher Jarred Cosart, infielder Kike Hernandez and outfielder Austin Wates to the Miami Marlins for a trio of prospects. In return, the Astros get third baseman Colin Moran, center fielder Jake Marisnick, pitcher Frances Martes and the 2015 compensation pick from the Marlins. The Astros have appeared to nab a pair of the Marlins' top prospects in Moran and Marisnick, who both were ranked in their top-10 prospects. Marisnick is said to be major-league ready and will move into centerfield, which has been a hole, for the Astros.
The Astros have once again added to their farm system depth, but the only difference is now they are trading young talent to get even younger. At one time, Astros fans were told that the big-league club was going to try and compete very soon. The team said they were done trading off talent just to get better minor leaguers. Apparently, that time still isn't now.
Moran is the gem of the trade. The third baseman was taken sixth overall last June in MLB's 2013 Draft. In Class A Jupiter this season, he has hit .294 with 21 doubles, five home runs and 33 RBIs. He has been projected as being in the top-100 prospects in all of baseball and will bolster the Astros' farm system. The Astros already have Rio Ruiz in their system, which means one of the players could be in for a position change in the near future.
Marisnick, who played 14 games for the Marlins this season, will be playing center field for the Astros very soon. In triple-A for the Marlins, he has hit .277 with 16 doubles, 10 home runs, 40 RBIs and 24 stolen bases in 89 games. He is the "impact major league bat" the Astros front office had talked about getting. Only time will tell if the Astros made the right decision in trading two young, promising players with major-league experience for more prospects.

text: Hire for Attitude, Not Just Skills By Rebecca R. Hastings, SPHR 6/25/2012 Permissions ATLANTA—Unstructured interviews often lead to hiring decisions based on gut feelings, said Carol Quinn, CEO of Hire Authority, during a June 24 session on motivation-based interviewing at the Society for Human Resource Management's 2012 Annual Conference and Expositiion held in Atlanta through June 27, 2012. Yet gut feelings, and even behavioral interviews, can lead hiring managers to miss a critical element that separates high and low performers: attitude. Motivation-based interviewing (MBI) is a concept that has been around for more than 15 years, Quinn said. "It closes the holes that exist in behavior-based interviewing that allow marginal job performers to be mistaken as good hires." Quinn, author of Don't Hire Anyone Without Me! (Career Press, 2002), said the goal of an effective interviewing process is to select high achievers—those who are able to achieve above-average results on a consistent basis. High achievers have three characteristics: Attitude: "I can figure out a way to achieve this!" Passion: "I love doing this!" Skill: "I have the skill to do this!" "It's not just skill that helps people achieve above average results," Quinn noted, even though qualifications and skills are often the focus of many job interviews. The attitude of high achievers is apparent when such individuals are confronted with assignments or goals. Some might take an "I can't" attitude right away if they believe a goal is too challenging, while others might expect success at first, until they are confronted with an obstacle. The difference between low and high performers, according to Quinn, is that low performers think the high performers achieve results because they have fewer obstacles, "and that will be the reason they give for their substandard performance." Only the optimistic "I can" attitude activates the problem-solving part of the brain located in the frontal lobe, Quinn explained. "Problem-solving effort is required to conquer obstacles." During the session Quinn showed a video in which a boss gave two managers a week to solve the same business challenge. One manager had a positive attitude about the challenge and worked closely with her team to identify a solution that exceeded the expected result. The other had a negative attitude and failed to meet the boss's expectation. MBI involves the assessment of attitude, passion and skill through the use of a structured interview format. Interviewing questions are written to present applicants with an obstacle situation, the action taken and the end results. For example, "Tell me a specific time when you had to deal with an irate customer. What action did you take? What was the end result?" Hiring for attitude is essential, she noted, because "you are not going to change anybody else's attitude. You are not going to get into anyone else's head and re-program them." Participants left the session with an MBI interview guide template that included five questions which can be used to assess career fit, including likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses and career goals. HR people are often not the ones doing the interviewing, so they need a process they can use to teach others, Quinn told SHRM Conference Daily. "If you have a complex interviewing process, managers won't use it." Rebecca R. Hastings, SPHR, is an online editor/manager for SHRM.

How quickly things change for NBA coaches
NEW ORLEANS – Byron Scott walked the corridor clutching a crotchety, old enemy in his right hand, the Red Auerbach trophy for the NBA's coach of the year. It was a just reward for a Showtime Laker who hated the old man's stogies in Boston Garden. Still, he lugged that thing until finding the waiting lips of his wife, Anita, for a congratulatory kiss.
Scott had every right to be gloating on Tuesday night, but the coach of the New Orleans Hornets had gone to back-to-back NBA Finals with the New Jersey Nets, been backstabbed out of his job, and no one had to tell him how humbling a moment this had been for him. The Dallas Mavericks' Jason Kidd undermined Scott all the way out the door in Jersey, so it was sweet justice that Kidd had to witness the ceremony at New Orleans Arena on the night a 99-94 loss in Game 5 ended the Mavericks' season.
Yes, Scott is the coach of the NBA's rising power, these go-go Hornets, yet there was no celebrating himself, his trophy, his trip to the Western Conference semifinals.
"It's all so fickle, just such a fickle league," Scott said outside the family lounge, after advancing to meet the defending champion San Antonio Spurs.
"People can change on you in a second."
He had set his coach of the year award down beside him now, and it wasn't lost on Scott that the coach soon trudging out of the Mavericks' locker room, who was the NBA's coach of the year two years ago, could be done in Dallas. With his job on the line, Avery Johnson was willing to trade the Mavs' future for a declining 35 year-old point guard, a trade that promises to haunt the Mavericks long beyond Johnson's Dallas coaching career.
Kidd and Johnson never found a rhythm together, never found a common ground to make this work. And Mark Cuban did nothing in the losing locker room to end speculation that an NBA Finals collapse and two straight first-round playoff blowouts would end Johnson's run as Mavericks coach.
"Nothing to say," the Mavericks owner said, throwing a fistful of popcorn into his mouth.
"I pass."
He didn't pass on the season but made a daring move for Kidd, and there's nothing but an uncertain future to show for it. Dallas and Phoenix, desperate franchises tired of title-less existences, made February trades that they hoped would turn into championship chases. Each won one game in the playoffs and goes home now. This is a high-risk, high-reward business. No one walks out of these jobs without a lot of money, and a lot of options.
Nevertheless, it is clear these Mavericks are on a slide that a coaching change won't stop. Kidd talked about getting a full training camp to integrate with the Mavs, but time isn't on his side. Chris Paul humiliated Kidd in this five-game series, closing him out with a 24-point, 15-assist, 11-rebound performance Tuesday. To think that the United States is considering an Olympic roster with Kidd and without Paul – whatever the call for big guards in international play – is preposterous.
Johnson went out of his way to praise Paul, calling him a "young Nate Archibald," and then interestingly added, "He and his coach have a great chemistry. He seems like he is very coachable. He pretty much dominated us this series."
He left you wondering if that was as much a commentary on his own disappointing point guard, Kidd, as it was a tribute to Paul.
"Did I let them down?" Kidd said. "I gave them everything I had."
As if that's reassuring to the Mavericks, who traded Devin Harris, DeSagana Diop and two future first-round draft picks with a mandate to win now.
Johnson had been the taskmaster who tightened Dallas' defense in the wake of Don Nelson. He was the anti-Nellie, and Cuban loved him for it. Now the Mavs have lost 12 of 15 playoff games across the past three seasons, and that's tough to survive.
Cuban could look around and decide there really isn't an upgrade for Johnson available, but clearly if he had decided he was bringing Johnson back next season, he would've said so Tuesday.
"There are a lot of people who are in bad shape, and I'm not one of them," Johnson said.
He wouldn't be without an NBA coaching job long. There is an intriguing chessboard of coaching moves that could play out this spring. The wild card could be the ever-deteriorating relationship between Toronto Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo and his coach, Sam Mitchell. Multiple sources describe a season of constant confrontations, with Colangelo relentlessly challenging Mitchell's strategies and preparation and harsh handling of 2007 No. 1 overall draft pick Andrea Bargnani.
After the Raptors went down 3-1 to Orlando on Saturday, sources said Colangelo flipped out over learning that Mitchell played a round of golf the following day. Mitchell was left to wonder who snitched, and on and on it goes. They are such different people, with different backgrounds and Mitchell's belief system, rooted in old-school American basketball, never has meshed with the GM's Euro philosophy.
Colangelo told reporters in Toronto on Tuesday that he didn't plan on making a coaching change "at this time," an endorsement. For now, the two years and guaranteed $9 million left on Mitchell's deal make him tough to fire.
Colangelo tried to lowball Mitchell on a contract extension a year ago, but the threat of the NBA coach of the year leaving Toronto for Charlotte or Indiana eventually earned Mitchell his extension. Yet New York Knicks GM Donnie Walsh loves Mitchell, an old Pacer, and is closely monitoring circumstances in Toronto. Walsh has been leaning toward Mark Jackson throughout his search process, but suddenly a five-game loss to Orlando in the Eastern Conference playoffs and the crumbling relationship with Colangelo could make Mitchell a candidate for a Raiders-Buccaneers Gruden-esque trade with the Knicks.
"Sam is the perfect guy to kick (Eddy) Curry and (Zach) Randolph in the ass and get something out of them," a rival Eastern Conference executive said. "Donnie loves tough guys, and that's why he loves Sam."
A year ago, Colangelo had his eye on Marc Iavaroni, the Suns assistant, but who would've thought that Mike D'Antoni could become available? Colangelo hired D'Antoni with the Suns and constructed that roster, and they see the game through the international basketball prism. If Toronto is available as a soft landing spot for D'Antoni, perhaps he beats the posse out of the desert this year instead of next.
Whatever the fallout of the carousel, the coach bringing Red Auerbach home with him wouldn't gloat Tuesday. Byron Scott has a good thing going in New Orleans, a fabulous young star, a spirited supporting cast. Even so, he stopped in the hallway, exhaled and said, "It can all change fast in this business. You'd better feel blessed and enjoy it when it's going well."

CFB Future Power Ranks | 10 future stars | Chat wrap | 2013 FPR
It's Insider's second go-round projecting college football's next three years in our Future Power Rankings.
CATEGORIES (weighting)
What did we learn from our first edition? For one, teams can make a substantive move in just a year's time. Just look at Auburn, which jumped from 23rd to fifth after a run to the championship game. USC, now with coaching stability, made the biggest leap (25th to sixth). Oklahoma, UCLA, FSU and Baylor were among other risers, and you'll soon read why.
On the other side, we were high a year ago on Florida and Michigan. Oops. The Gators' injury-plagued 4-8 season dropped them from No. 4 to No. 14, while the Wolverines, who lost five of their last six games, fell from fifth to 20th. We know Will Muschamp's job is in danger, but is that an omen for Brady Hoke's future in Ann Arbor?
Alabama is again our No. 1 team, but with two losses to end the season, its lead shrank. Is that a subtle signal that the Tide might have peaked under Nick Saban?
We'll examine those topics and more in the Future Power Rankings.
Here's how we compiled it: Our panel -- myself, Brad Edwards, Brock Huard, Tom Luginbill and Mark Schlabach -- provided 1-10 ratings in five different categories that we found to be comprehensive in determining current positioning, as well as a projection for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
Here are the top 25 college football teams over the next three years:

Alabama Crimson Tide
The bar graphs reflect the average points given by the voters for each category. Category averages are weighted by importance to generate overall score.
Coaching: Saban did not receive a perfect 10, as he did a year ago. Maybe the one panelist who gave him a nine dinged him for how he managed the final second of the Iron Bowl.
But seriously, Saban is still well ahead of No. 2 Urban Meyer (9.2) and No. 3 Bill Snyder (9.0). (Have to appreciate that Snyder gets that kind of love, even if K-State didn't break the Top 25.)
Edwards thinks 2014 is a big year for Saban because it will show whether he can adapt his defense to better handle tempo offenses. Look at how Saban's defenses mightily struggled last year against not only Texas A&M, but also Auburn and Oklahoma.
"You put them all together and you realize, 'You know what, Alabama might have an issue with this,'" Edwards said. "I happen to believe Saban and [defensive coordinator] Kirby Smart have done enough to deserve the benefit of the doubt. Let's see what they can come up with this year before I decide the dynasty is over. Saban is now recruiting to find those types of players [to defend tempo offenses]."
As for the best coach in the state?
"I want to see Gus Malzahn beat Nick Saban one more time before I say he's a better coach," Edwards said, "which is a conclusion a lot of people are already making."
Current talent: There are more positional questions than in the past few years, especially the offensive line and cornerback spots. Rival coaches are even rumbling about it. "I don't know about them," one SEC coordinator said. But do not be fooled for an instant into thinking the Tide have suddenly become as barren as a bachelor's refrigerator in terms of talent.
Bama still has the top running back group in the country with T.J. Yeldon, Kenyan Drake and Derrick Henry, who was a bright spot in the otherwise drab Sugar Bowl performance. The time could be now for LB Reuben Foster and FS Landon Collins to shine on defense. MLB Trey DePriest will be the defense's rock.
And what about QB Jake Coker? His old coach at FSU, Jimbo Fisher, believes Coker is capable, which is why Coker nearly beat out last year's Heisman Trophy winner to start at FSU.
Recruiting: This is why Alabama earned association with the word "dynasty" -- it started winning almost every major recruiting battle, and the program became the closest thing there is on the planet to the NFL's minor league system. It has not dipped, and there's no reason to believe it will as long as Saban is around; he will not let it slide.
Title path: It's going to happen, and it could happen this year: The SEC is going to knock itself out of the playoff. The strength of the top half of the league could turn out to be a bad thing in some seasons.
The Tide are regularly part of a kickoff game of some kind, playing the likes of Clemson, Virginia Tech or West Virginia, but the nonconference slate is typically manageable. The conference schedule always works for and against the SEC. For the Tide, Auburn is the new-slash-old menace.
The rating suggests that it isn't the ideal road to the playoff, but it should not be preventive for a power program such as Alabama.
Program power: Like the coaching category, Bama still received four 10s and a nine. The takeaway: It's hard to remain perfect.
"We all know that every dynasty comes to an end, but when you look back on every dynasty, you know where the turning point was," Edwards said. Will we say it was the Iron Bowl and Sugar Bowl, perhaps? "I think what you have is a lot of people trying to be the first one to predict the end of the dynasty," Edwards said. "They want to be the ones to say they didn't miss it. I think they're jumping the gun a little bit."
Which is why Alabama is still No. 1. But one program is making up ground in a hurry ...

Meanwhile, Jake (Jacob Artist) and Puck (Mark Salling) spend quality sibling time together for Hanukah, Artie (Kevin McHale) has a holiday dream that changes his outlook on life and Kurt has a Christmas he'll never forget.

A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion.

JOIN me friends for a special night at the 55BAR celebrating my 3rd year there of monthly gigs. The lineup is intense and you wont want to miss the fun and the MUSIC! Early Set from 7-9PM! See you there…
Hello friends,
Summer's begun. I'd bet most of you are on your way to doing great warm weather things. A good thing too. If you're reading this from the North East USA then you know all too well how horrible this past winter was. And loooong. That's all behind us now. This summer finds me just slightly less busy then the rest of the year, which is a first. My teaching practice – now booming – isn't letting up! Later this month, my dearest and I will celebrate 18 years of married life and love, the week after that – I turn 50!! I can't believe it myself.
One of the ways of celebrating that milestone takes place on THURSDAY, JULY 30 at the 55BAR! My residency enters its third year there and every anniversary I celebrate by inviting great friends and idols to join me a for a musical smorgasbord for a couple of hours. It's always a great hang, it's free and having you there make the celebration all the better. This year the special guests are: Anders Nilsson, Ras Moshe, Ken Filiano, Michael Attias, Mazz Swift, Reggie Nicholson, Cooper Moore and William Parker!
Speaking of William Parker, just a couple days ago a joined a small chorus for his piece at the Vision Festival XX that was a blast. And as I write today – SUNDAY, JULY 12th – I'll be at Barbes with the wonderful musician and singer Jeremiah Lockwood going deep into the blues at 5PM.
Early in August (FRIDAY, AUGUST 7th), I head out to the West Coast, playing with Lisa Mezzacappa at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park working out some the material for Glorious Ravage – being more formally presented in September/October. To learn more on that amazing project, check out Lisa's website and even spread the word if you can. Later in August, I run the Advanced Jazz Vocal Summit for the New York Jazz Workshop. The Summit lasts 4 days and I've organized a nice gig at the Lexington Hotel, smack dab in midtown on FRIDAY, AUGUST 21st to feature the vocalists from this year's session. Very happy to provide this opportunity to the students. On TUESDAY, AUGUST 25th, I'm on the Harlem Jazz Series doing a program called In Praise of Ornette with Kenny Wessel, Sean Conly and Darius Jones. This is a great afternoon Jazz Series, curated by the great trombonist Craig Harris. I'm so excited about this! Back at the 55BAR on THURSDAY, AUGUST 27th for the Early Set and the line-up soon come. Details on all the shows mentioned are in the GIG section of the site.
In other great, great news – I'm honored to be a part of a newly released book, entitled "Giving Birth to Sound: Creative Women in Music", edited by William Parker and Renate De Rin and published by buddy's knife. I got my copy a couple nights ago and I'm inspired by all the thoughts these powerful and creative women have on the process of making music. How music impacts our lives. Pick up a copy and learn more here.
I'll be back with a proper post come September so until then – have a great summer!! Thanks for reading and maybe, just maybe – I'll see you out there.
Love, not war. and music.
Hey Hey!
May is just about a closed door and June is reaching out with open…and warm… arms
Just back from California after performing a wonderful concert with Lisa Mezzacappa, John Finkbeiner and auspicious guest reedist Steve Adams (of the ROVA Saxophone quartet) at the California Jazz Conservatory…following up the concert with a workshop the next day called Improvising without Scatting. That turned out to be something of a revelation. I had a vibrant and expressive class that gave me a clear view on the effectiveness of the things we tried. The students were pleased. I was pleased that some germinating ideas had come to fruition. I look forward to teaching more of these workshops and expanding the idea of improvisation for vocalists.
I got home just in time to close out the month with the 55 Bar residency taking it all the way jazz, playing standards with bassist Ratzo Harris and guitarist Kenny Wessel. We had a great time swinging the great American Songbook in our way the perfect way to come home. Now coming up a happening month of happenings – check the Performance section for details but shortly, here's what's coming up!
June opens up with a special set of the Fay Victor Ensemble at Korzo, part of the Konceptions Music Series for the 10:30PM Set on TUESDAY, JUNE 2 with Anders Nilsson and Ken Filiano! We are celebrating 10 years this year as a group and it's always a ball and a joy to make music together. I hope you'll join us for this special presentation! WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3 doing a private party as part of the annual Art OMI fundraiser with Anders Nillson, Ursel Schlict and Jamie Baum.SATURDAY, JUNE 6 I'm part of a triple bill put on by killing free jazz drummer William Hooker at Funkadelic Studios. My set is with the great and esteemed William Parker on Bass! Woo…very excited about this happening. The next day, I head up to Hartford, CT to perform with a crew of amazing musicians to part of the grande season finale of the Improvisation Series held at RealArtWays, put on by Joe Morris and Stephan Haynes.

Any great plans coming your way? Have a great summer no matter what you do. Looking forward to seeing at the shows and/or around town!
Thank for reading,
Dear Friends!
Here's hoping things are great in your world. So much turmoil and trouble and we're losing great energies in quick succession. B B King and Ben E King gone within 3 weeks of each other and just last night Bruce Lundvall, of Blue Note Records passed on as well. It's painful to lose people we feel we know because they touch us so deeply, once again reminded how fleeting everything – including ourselves – is. It's one of the reasons music is so important to me as every time I sing and it's over. It's over. Never to come again and a recording of those moments are a document to what was. Making music makes the point clear each and every time…that this moment and time is the only real thing we have.
And I have some news.
Before I hit the road in April, the great ezine (and part of the New Music America) stopped by my home for a pretty in depth interview I'd like to share. It's part of a three part interview that includes vocal powerhouses Jen Shyu and Jazz legend Sheila Jordan focusing on three generations of jazz vocalists going in decidedly disparate paths, yet still honoring the tradition. I'm honored to have been asked to take part and you can read it (and see the video) right here.
I'm also headed to the West Coast to play with at the California Jazz Conservatory on SATURDAY, MAY 23rd and conducting a workshop called Improvising w/o Scatting on SUNDAY, MAY 24th. Everything is on the PERFORMANCE section of the FV site and I'm putting here as well:

Thank you all for reading. Appreciate every moment!
Dear friends,
What a month I had between Europe and Turkey. I first went over to do a tour with Herbie Nichols SUNG; after that I ran two masterclasses on my own at Bern University of the Arts in Bern, Switzerland, then moved on to Istanbul, Turkey to join the New York Jazz Workshop team for a week of master-classes at Bogazici University, truly the Harvard University of Turkey. Three different scenarios and each deeply fulfilling.
First off the Herbie Nichols tour…a small dream that revealed so much about where Nichols' music can go and how open people were towards it. We're taking an elastic approach to the forms, full of detours and improvisations that crop out of nowhere. So wonderful to hear how the music unfolds over four back to back concerts, every concert different from the other and always exploratory. I couldn't have asked for better partners in pianist Achim Kaufmann and reedist Tobias Delius on this journey. These musicians know Nichols' music inside and out, having played his pieces from years, a fact that left the possibilities endless. It was a revelation. I learned so much and see Nichols music in a different way now. Not just tunes that are a master-class in themselves of form, harmony and thematic development, but now as fluid materials so strong that those melodies are indestructible beacons of light carrying feelings, sounds and intuitive joy. The feedback and reaction to the tour were amazing and I was floored by the reaction to our unorthodox approach. The concert in Amsterdam, where the tour started had quite a few members of the Instant Composers Pool coming out to hear our way, musicians that know the Nichols' book just as well, arguably much better than I do. The great reedist and shakuhachi player Ab Baars said "Good you came over to give us a great view on Mr Nichols' music." !!!
After the HBS tour ended in Berlin, Germany, I spent a few days there getting to know that great city during springtime. Always a lover of history, I learned more about the history of the city as East Berlin, with enough evidence around to back up the conversations. The night before heading out of town, I got to check out the Bad Plus in Berlin doing Ornette Coleman's Science Fiction with a front line to die for: Ron Miles, Tim Berne and Sam Newsome. Very honored to be Sam's guest at the A Train and sit front row taking in all the beauty. Just in awe.
Then it was on to Bern, Switzerland where the master classes went so well at Bern University of the Arts, I almost cried. It was a small group of 5 amazing students in total, diving into a deep place looking at vocal confidence and audience connection. Every time I've given this workshop, there's been a deep emotional response from at least one of the participants. This occasion was no different. The second class was on improvised group vocal improvisations with a rhythm section joining us exploring improvisation by ear over the blues, Stella by Starlight as well as free improvisation. Great discussions with these students, many of them at the Masters degree level in music and composition and it looks like I can go back! I was thrilled. The stay in Bern was brief, just a night before the master classes there, taking the night train back to Amsterdam that same evening. Amsterdam now just as a mini vacation, seeing friends and family. A cool spring, hell everywhere was cool – yet sunny and beautiful too. I left there wishing I could stay just a few days longer. It felt so good and connected this time.
Istanbul, Turkey. I was the vocal instructor of the New York Jazz Workshop team and after a successful run last year, we were invited back Bogazici University to teach over 40 students during their Spring Break. The vocalists were so excited after last year's proceedings that we doubled the amount of vocalists this year! The students aren't music majors but they're brilliant students in their own fields. From freshmen chemistry majors to biomedical engineers working on their Ph.D's…all for a love of this music. The week was dynamic and the team was immense: Drummer Tony Moreno, pianist Nikolaj Hess, bassist Jay Anderson, guitarist Kenny Wessel…alongside our ring leaders and co-directors of the New York Jazz Workshop – tenor saxophonist Marc Mommaas and Marco Chelo. Last year, I had the group of vocalists entirely and this year, I had all of the vocalists in the morning, and floated around in the afternoon to the ensembles that they were a part of. Such a new way of interacting for me, which was uncomfortable at first but I got into it and learned so much about myself and the power of those vocalists integrating themselves into the different ensemble lead by the instrumentalists on the team. Last night when we put on the final concert…we were floored by the range, depth and power of the performances and the audience of a few hundred people responded in kind. How lucky I feel to have had anything to do with this amazing outcome and what a place in the world to have this opportunity. Istanbul is incredible.
I started to fall in love with Istanbul…the people, sounds (the call to prayer blows my mind), the food, the love of music, the chaos and the love people show. Passionate beautiful people…warm and appreciative was my experience. It's such a beautiful city too, almost like a shining jewel. The house we stayed in on campus was decadently comfortable, with views from on high of the Bosphorus at every turn. The five minute walk from my room to where I taught each morning was like walking past a postcard with differing views depending on the light. The amazing barges colored orange and red..stood in gorgeous stark contrast to that Bosphorus' blue hue, sounds of the water moving through the trees just outside my window took my breath away too many times to mention. We also played a great concert at Nardis, the famed Istanbul jazz club. Marc Mommaas lead the band and featuring his compositions, and I joined the band with a couple choice standards and two originals of my own. A packed house and a gleefully vocal audience!! An intense period of deep connection to great people in a dream like location with jazz as the catalyst.
This has been a dream month for me. I can't begin to express the deep gratitude I have for my life and music in this moment. The force of it. The BEAUTY of it!!!! What it does to people. A few months ago…I questioned the importance of music and my place within it. I couldn't see the value as I saw it before when I decided to become a musician in the first place. I went through a period of reflection and trying to find meaning, lasting months. I live in a country that doesn't really care about these things unless someone is successful or making a wave. New York is too hard a city to get carried away by beauty alone. How would you eat and take care of yourself? How do you show the importance of beauty in a throwaway society such as ours. I had to come away and throw myself in the deep end in places that understand what that means. To make it real, we were here because someone decided they wanted the students to have this experience, simple as that. I write this post on the flight home from Istanbul where the experience hasn't been processed enough but I can say that I had the time of my life, connecting to friends, students, musicians and people just happy to be where we met. I come home a renewed being, having gone through some sort of metamorphosis that I can't quite put my finger on yet…but you'll hear it soon.
Great love and thanks to Achim Kaufmann, Tobias Delius, Tom Baeten, Nico Chientaroli, Danielle Oosterop, Renate De Rin, Wolfgang Glode, Lukas Frei, Ali Yekta Ulgen, Marc Mommaas, and Marco Chelo for contributing so much to make this month happen and unfold the way it did.
So what's next? More music of course! Back at the 55bar on THURSDAY, APRIL 30th with cellist Marika Hughes and pianist Aruan Ortiz…playing a wide range of things. 7-9pm. No cover. . Then I'm a special guest with the ICP Orkest at Roulette on WEDNESDAY, MAY 6 alongside trombonist Ray Anderson. I love that band and it's an honor to play with them once again! Later on in May, I head to the West Coast for a concert and workshop at the California Jazz Conservatory in Berkeley, CA on SATURDAY, MAY 23 and SUNDAY, MAY 24th respectively. The concert will feature fantastic Bay area musicians Lisa Mezzacappa on bass and John Finkbeiner on guitar – with special guest Steve Adams from the Rova Saxophone Quartet. The Workshop on the SUNDAY, MAY 24th is called "Improvising without Scatting" and I'm excited to share with participants all the interesting ways we can use our voices outside of the scat realm. Learn more about all of that here. Then it back to NYC, ending May 2015 at the 55BAR featuring guitarist Kenny Wessel and bassist Ratzo Harris doing a totally jazzy Early Set on THURSDAY, MAY 28th.
Ahh music…you weave a thread so deep that carries across my life. In deep gratitude for what I do and for what others allow me to bring into their lives as a musician and teacher. At this moment, I'm full and have what I need to keep going on. We'll meet along the way.
So much love to you all,

Happy April!
In NYC the turn of the weather has come to us and Spring is now in the air. Just as I leave town to play some dates in Europe and later on in Turkey. I'm excited to get out on the road with Herbie Nichols SUNG – playing four dates in Holland, Belgium and Germany. Playing his music with pianist Achim Kaufmann and reedist Tobias Delius is a delight since both musicians know Nichols' music inside and out and we've played once before as a group in 2013 for a buoyant crowd in Berlin, Germany. It was a great night I still think about so getting a chance to dig in even deeper feels like a great gift I'm looking forward to cashing in on! More importantly, the opportunity to perform Nichols music and expose more audiences to his amazing compositions makes me so very happy. Come catch us! Here's where we'll be…specifics in the GIG section of the site.

After a few days off in Berlin, I'll head to Bern, Switzerland to teach a day of masterclasses at the Bern University of the Arts! Looking forward to teaching a wonderful group of students on confidence building with their voices and more. Then its off to Istanbul, Turkey for a week of masterclasses with the New York Workshop team with Marco Chelo and Marc Mommaas at the helm. We'll also play at the famed club Nardis in Istanbul on THURSDAY, APRIL 23rd! The New York Jazz Workshop was there last June and it was a joy – not only to teach these incredibly talented and brilliant students – but to also taken all that is beautiful about Istanbul. We should have a blast and feel even more at home than we did last year…
I'm back in NYC near the end of the month, just in time to make my 55BAR residency and this month, I've asked Aruan Ortiz on piano and Marika Hughes on cello to join me on THURSDAY, APRIL 30th for the Early Set at the 5's playing some older originals and music from other sources. I've been interacting with both of these formidable musicians in the last couple years so this will also feel like home and not just a homecoming.
Enjoy to the Spring…See you soon!
Excited to take Herbie Nichols SUNG on the road next month with the great Achim Kaufmann on piano and Tobias Delius on reeds. I've been performing and developing Herbie Nichols material now for over 10 years and put together a number of configurations to communicate the ideas I had for Nichols' knotty compositions. The latest approach and bringing back piano into the fold started with meeting Achim Kaufmann in Berlin in 2012, spending a week hashing out ideas and approaches to Nichols tunes. I came back to New York and formed a group here to further develop the ideas in performance hoping to record the project and bring it out! That hasn't happened yet and perhaps this tour will open up a few doors. Whatever happens, I'm always thrilled and honored to play Herbie Nichols' glorious compositions and with great company. Spread the word!
Happy March Friends! The promise of Spring looms in an air of abstraction here in the NorthEastern US yet being able to say we're in the month of March assures warm weather fairly soon. YES!
With all that said I'm wearing my warm jazz hat quite a lot this month in wonderful musical settings starting tomorrow as part of the Washington Women in Jazz Festival where I'm invited as a special guest with DC based group Ephemera and we'll perform a double bill with RAW of Sweden on SUNDAY, MARCH 8th at the House of Sweden in DC. on SATURDAY, MARCH 7 – I'm giving a Masterclass at the Levine School of Music in DC as well. Very excited to perform in DC for the first time with this great group of musicians. Later in March, I'll run a Masterclass much closer to home at Long Island University through the wonderful invitation of master musician himself, Sam Newsome. On the local gig front, I'm putting on another Greene Avenue Music Presents (the event in February with Tyshawn Sorey and Brandon Seabrook was a musical sensation !!!) presenting Herbie Nichols with a European aficionado of his music, Akhim Coughman and Ratzo Harris at I-BEAM in preparation for an upcoming Herbie Nichols SUNG Europe tour in April (more on that shortly), plus the 55Bar Residency this month features FV's Blues and Standards (THURSDAY, MARCH 26th) for the Early Set with Anders Nilsson (guitar), Ratzo Harris (double bass) and Jason Nazary (drums).
If the weather itself doesn't warm up come and wrap yourself up in some good music wherever you can find it. The last gig with the Fay Victor Ensemble at the 55 BAR found me entering an empty bar on a cold cold night to set up for the gig to having it filling up with smiling and welcoming faces bringing a warmth that went straight to the heart. Music warms from the inside out.
Thanks for reading.
Dear Friends,
Yep…winter is rolling right along here in the Northeast. Where I am the cold, especially how erratic the temperatures rise and fall, have me loooonging for softer climes. It's an endurance test for me. How long can I take this perceived injustice. It's a luxury problem in my case (I'm warm with shelter and proper clothing) yet still looking at the question – how much can I endure or how much can we – is a good one.
Last month, Patricia Nicholson Parker invited me to put a set together for the BlackLivesMatter Festival Arts for Arts put on in the last week of January. My set turned out to be the closing set of the 8 day festival so I not only wanted a strong set, I needed to say something too. I put together a little piece buoyed by words that reflect how I feel about Black lives matter and the question of endurance factors in. Check that out here…
That concert closed out January and before that I had a great time performing Herbie Nichols' Music at the 55BAR with Ratzo Harris and Anthony Coleman, I played at the beginning of the month with Ratzo and guitarist Kenny Wessel at the North Square Lounge in the West Village, a gig that was fun, fun, fun! Taking part in William Parker's piece at Roulette in honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a major highlight highlight last month. William Parker put together an interesting melange of musicians, actors and dancers which created a colorful tapestry of sound and substance. Finally, it was wonderful once again to be nominated the best Female Vocalist as part of the annual El Intruso annual poll. Learn more about that poll here…

In early May, an important milestone was reached that signals a sea change in how consumers prefer to access their favorite content: Among Comcast customers, the number of internet subscribers surpassed cable TV subscribers for the first time. Granted, the majority of that bandwidth is not being used to post to Facebook or shop on Amazon. It's predominantly the pipeline for streaming video. Consider that, globally, IP video traffic will comprise 79% of all consumer internet traffic in 2018, up from 66% in 2013, per Cisco.

Arity Corporation, a Semantic Web technologies company working in knowledge management problem solving, has announced LexiLink, which gives life science professionals the ability to build and manage the complex knowledge bases that inform research and development. The Life Sciences rely on lexicons and ontologies to describe, analyze, and drive scientific investigations. LexiLink builds, curates, and manages multiple lexicons and ontologies in one web-based application.
LexiLink manages the provenance of concepts and attributes and provides alerts to specific changes in source lexicons that are relevant to the user. This allows users to absorb changes and new versions directly into their new lexicon. Developed in cooperation with Pfizer, Inc., LexiLink can import many lexicons and ontologies in the biomedical field such as UMLS extracts, MeSH, MedDRA, GO, GOA, and ChEBI. LexiLink can manage vocabularies with millions of entries. Companies can incorporate their existing, proprietary vocabularies as well as create new ones within LexiLink. They can also use LexiLink to export these vocabularies to feed text mining and other applications within the organization. LexiLink ships with extended web service APIs to set the stage for a range of knowledge management applications. LexiLink can be used alone or as a companion product to Arity's @tlas and EXPRESSway investigative research applications.
This tool was designed to let scientists view concepts, similar terms, and detailed information to instantly see relationships and hierarchies. They can annotate entries, view full synonym expansion, and establish links between terms across lexicons. LexiLink generates alerts whenever a linked concept is modified internally or externally (because LexiLink also lets users import lexicon updates without disrupting their customizations). And, LexiLink can automatically fix logic errors in imported data (such as parent relationships to ancestors).
