CD Release:
"Valega’s tour de force, 'A Moment of Silence,'
is a challenging, shape-shifting number that puts the entire ensemble
through its paces."
~~ JazzTimes by Bill Milkowski, June 2010

CD Pick:
Ahmad
Jamal - Cross Country Tour
This double CD gives you a taste of one of the tastiest of all jazz musicians.
Ahmad Jamal's phrasings influenced none other than Miles Davis, who would
cite Jamal's important influence on his music. Especially important was
Vernel Fournier's mallet work on "Poinciana," which helped make
the tune a huge hit for Jamal.

Book Pick:
The
Price of Liberty: Paying for America's Wars from the Revolution to the
War on Terror
By Robert D. Hormats
"Continuing the federal government's fiscal incontinence begun by LBJ's refusal to address the cost of the Vietnam War, Afghanistan and Iraq are being financed by deficit spending, hope of economic growth, and sale of debt to foreigners."

Essay:
Globalization and the Downsizing
of the American Dream -
"Many of us have a gut feeling that the global economy has gone awry.
We would do well to trust our feelings. This essay addresses this crucial
issue: how the globalization of the economy undermines the quality of
life in the United States."
~~~ Kevin Danaher, co-founder of Global Exchange.
