Hi all...As some of you may have noticed the AllAboutJazz website has 
been down due to a server crash for a few weeks. At this point most 
things are up and functioning but some of the most recent articles have 
been lost. They are being reconstructed and will re-appear, 
unfortunately with new links, over the next few weeks. The British-Klez-
Jazz article that I wrote is back up with a new link. It is at:

 http://www.allaboutjazz.com/php/article.php?id=453

You can also see a preview of the Zorn cover piece I did with him for 
the September issue at:

I was at the Electric Masada concert last week at the tonic and it was 
pretty incredible. It was followed by a midnight set (actually closer 
to 1 am) of Roberto Rodriguez's Septeto with Krakman...which 
rocked...Meg Okura is truly an incredible violinist....thanks to all 
for their patience while things get up and running....but of course if 
you are in NYC....or go to the .pdf files of the papers on the 
site...you can always see a NYC paper that is friendly to Jewish Music 
and its continued association with Jazz...Anyone go to the recent 
Jewish Music in Jazz Time concert? Would love to know thoughts

In November's issue I will be reviewing the new Michael Brecker CD that 
features Erik Friedlander on cello and Mark Feldman 
violin/concertmaster...and a special feature on the Django festival 
which will be at Birdland....I am listening to some Django and hear a 
clarinetist named Hubert Rostaing...he played with Django a lot and I 
think I hear a bit of klez/yiddish in his playing...especially on a cut 
titled "rythme futur"...anyone know more about him?...Best to 
All...Elliott
