    Chopin is still being turned into fertile material for jazz improvisation: I'm writing the notes for the Diva Jazz Trio's wonderful CD, NEVER NEVER LAND, featuring Sherrie Maricle, Tomoko Ohno, and Noriko Ueda, and they do a rewarding reinvention of a Chopin nocturne that keeps some of the original romanticism but adds a soft samba beat. Most engaging!

    And thanks for Coltrane on Ben; like all the tenor players of that generation, Ben played a wide-open mouthpiece and kept his lower jaw very loose, which (along with native genius) produced that immense sound. Information courtesy of tenor player Sam Parkins, who also said that this way of playing requires enormous physical strength. Cheers! Michael
