Note from Bradley...
This is what happens when a pitch black dog has her pic taken when it's pitch black outside.
At least he did what I asked... Thanks Bradley! She is pretty!

NPR - Top 10 Jazz Albums of the Year
I am always the last to hear these things and go figure... I had to hear it on NPR this morning. Congratulations Maurice and to my little brother Derek. (BTW - he will always be my little brother... and as you may know, helps us when we need help!) This is such a great honor!
Trumpeter Maurice Brown came up in jazz in Chicago; he found his way to New Orleans for a while, including through Hurricane Katrina, and he now lives in New York. Judging from his second album, The Cycle Of Love, he seems to have picked up various lessons along the way: earthy intelligence, urbane slickness, how to party. The global aesthetic of hip-hop is also present -- Brown works with plenty of R&B and rap artists -- and his band, especially the tenor saxophonist Derek Douget, has a certain bounce (and a few skittering rimshots) in its step. But there's also a clear compositional savvy in the 10 tunes here; it attests to a jazz pedigree. The result is a jazz record that feels like it's from musicians of the hip-hop generation -- and compromises neither genre.
