Mark and Dave discuss Take 6, the crazy nepotistic network of friends that connects them, the state of vocal jazz today, and absolutely everything that has happened in their lives up to this point.  Seriously, though, this talk does get a little heavy on the biographical info, and I feel we barely scratched the surface of our usual scintillating conversation.  Listen and learn, and Dave will be back again with our group Syncopation, and I'm sure other times too.  Songs include M.S.'s "Almost Like," and Dave's originals and arrangements ("Festive Minor", "Get out of your own way", "Just one of those things", "The Song is You," "Deciding Where to Land", "For All We Know," and "Shade").

Mark and Molly Flannery discuss music, family, biased bloggers, the Acton Jazz Café, and James Joyce, among other things.  Check out Molly at www.mollyflannery.com

Music selections:  "In for the Evening" by M.S. as the theme, Molly Flannery music selections: "Seven Seas", "Star Eyes," and "Memoria" (featuring Fernando Holz).

Mark and Gilson discuss the piano, Brazilian Music, performance-based injuries (no laughing matter), and bullies.  Check Gilson out at www.gilsonmusic.com 

Music played:  M.S.'s "As Fate Would Have It" as the theme, "Rosa Morena" and "Lampiao" from Gilson Schachnik's album "Lampiao."

Mark ventures out into the podcast world for realz now, with some exclusive audio of jazzy interpretations of some Bob Dylan music.  Featuring performances and interviews with Molly Flannery, Chuck Gabriel, Adrian Sicam, and Sara Bielanski, excerpted from a broadcast on WICN radio, 90.5 FM.  http://www.wicn.org
