Does anyone know where I can obtain a chart to "Tanguedia III" by Astor Piazzolla? The piece is on Tango: Zero Hour and Gary has recorded it on his Libertango CD. I've searched several online sheet music retailers with no luck, so if anyone has a link to where I can buy it, I appreciate it!

It's one of the Piazzolla pieces that I think I could play on a gig - like Oblivion and a few others.

Recovering from New Year Eve, my men and I, laying on the sofa we discovered that amazing testimony that age, generations, music and energy can truly get together! Just go to this link of the French TV and let it load to choose the best parts: http://videos.tf1.fr/reportages/rock-n-roll-attitude-5598893.html

Did anyone see today's Dilbert?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry :-).

Hi Tony, hi all,

quite some time a go John McLaughlin was in town playing a concert tour called "Remember Shakti". One of the songs was a piece of classical Indian music. I wonder is some of you dear VWers have some receommendation where to start with this kind of stuff? Cd's? artists?

Any thoughts? thanks!

Cheers Stefan

Hi All,

In Newsweek online, there's an article call "Jazz is Dead. Long Live Jazz" (see http://www.newsweek.com/id/226331). I'm not sure I can decode a coherent message from the article, but one of the comments seems to be about the friction between jazz's pop/dance music roots and it's art music present (and arguably last 40-50 years or so), and judging the quality of today's jazz vs. yesterday's on the basis of popularity is the wrong approach. It also seems to me that the article does better with "Jazz is Dead" than it does with "Long Live Jazz".

Sorry, this is no vibes... but wow! I went to a concert last night. Anouar Brahem, the Tunisian 'Prince Of Oud' and his pals got us into a beautiful trip.

This great oriental 12 string kind of mandolin has in itself a magical sound. Anouar was accompanied by lebanese percussionist Kaled Yassine. But to complete this quartet, he chose two instruments and players from the north: German Klaus Gesing on bass clarinet and Swedish bassist Bjorn Meyer.
