Jim Hall
Jim Hall is a legend. His jazz recordings are countless...his musical performances are countless...his influence on jazz guitarists and other musicians is huge.

Ken Vandermark
The best avant-garde jazz in Chicago. Always something different...always exceptional.

Explore the universe...It is wonderful to see human accomplishment. The day the mars rovers landed sucessfully, I got the chills. My eyes were glued to the images being sent back to us for weeks on end.
