For some reason that I cannot yet fathom, all of my laptop’s network connections have failed on me — the wired Ethernet jack, the wireless PCMCIA card and the wired PCMCIA — so I have been unable to get online to blog from New York. We’re still here in the Big Apple, flying home tomorrow, and I’m posting a quick note to you from Studio D in the Sony Recording Studios on West 54th Street in New York. It’s been a whirlwind week plus here, all very exciting and exhilarating. After a busy week of John doing interviews, signing autographs and becoming a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master<\/a><\/strong> (along with Ray Baretto, Tony Bennett, Bob Brookmeyer, Chick Corea, Buddy DeFranco, and Freddie Hubbard), we spent yesterday and today with Nancy Wilson<\/a><\/strong> and our friends from MCG Jazz<\/strong> <\/a>as they finish up Nancy’s new recording. The CD, which will be titled Turn To Blue<\/em>, features a number of guest soloists and today there are four Jazz Masters in the room at one time: Nancy, Jimmy Heath, Dr. Billy Taylor, and John (no, John is not playing).
