Named after his wife who used to fry up fish sandwiches between sets at the Studio Rivbea. He's in his eighties now, but still playing last i heard.

Michael McLaughlin

np: Elis Regina with Hermeto Pascoal Live at Montruex 1979

It was indeed Beatrice. Such a beautiful tune! I always make a point of letting the audience know about Rivers and that he is alive and playing to this day.

I'm puzzled by the attitude towards piracy I've seen expressed by a lot of people (not on this thread, I'm speaking in general terms here). Somehow, because it's easy to copy CDs, it's sometimes viewed as acceptable.

I've heard "well, artists only get pennies from each sale, the label really makes most of it" which may have a grain of truth - though without the label, the CD wouldn't be released. But each stolen jazz CD is a bigger percentage of overall sales than for a top 40 CD. And since the artist agreed to their contract with the label, shouldn't we also that decision?

I know I'm preaching to the choir here. My point is that I encourage everyone to address this topic with their peers/students when the opportunity presents itself. If no one buys jazz CDs, there will be less jazz CDs released in the future, and thus less exposure for the music.

Yeah all! Great stuff- I have to figure out how to print some of these posts out and save them. Very inspiring.!!Thanks so much.
re; the last post on piracy-might be a good one to re-post as its own topic!? I agree that students need to understand that we lose money,(especially as independant artists) when they burn and trade things but I think this subject deserves its own forum heading as there is alot more to talk about in relation to the industry. Being on ArtistShare has helped me find ideas on the whole issue and where the CD business is heading.
Gotta run and will check in later this week...much to discuss on this/see todays New York times entertainment section on the biz!
best,
Ingrid
