Thanks for the welcome, Bruce! Yep, Vermont's got some great attributes... But dang! it was COLD here today...and it's now 31 degrees F. Haven't seen a single sunny, warm day for 3 weeks! And winter comes darned fast around here... I'm waitin' on summer...
Anyway, my closest drumming community is Burlington, VT. Not too far from Waterbury; only a couple of exits north on I-89, maybe 15 minutes from Waterbury's Exit 10.
Still, Burlington's a 2-hour drive each way...4 hours round trip. So, I only drum with the Jeh Kulu Dance and Drum Theater once a month or so. I miss the days when I drummed for dance classes and performances 3-6 times a week!
Thanks for the warm welcome, Bruce. I haven't had a chance to check your profile yet, and it's time to get some sleep...but I'm curious to know about your music situation... Anyway, take care, and good night for now.
Thank you very much for this nice comment about my music. There are 2 places I can think about to have a nice jazz jam session. Let me know when you come in town and I will try to guide you in to that.
See you in Montréal maybe !

Dearest Bruce,
Thank you for your sincere and thought-full comment! What lovely compliments--thank you. And your work is beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing a sample! Have a beautiful Monday. Peace, Nicole Madison namaste
Hi Bruce, thank you for your friendship. I see you're currently in Maine. Maybe you've heard of this terrific watercolor artist who is well-known in your area:
He's a huge jazz afficionado and I'm sure you'd appreciate his work. As far as suggestions for a new locale, I would suggest upstate NY, Rockland County.
Hi Bruce, I really appreciate your kind words! As artists, we "see" the world from a different lens, "listen" with a slightly different frequency and "walk" to a slightly different rhythm...
Thanks for the encouragement!
The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Pianist and singer Barbara Carroll was host Marian McPartland's second guest during the first season of Piano Jazz. Thirty years later, Carroll makes a return appearance to reminisce with her friend about their experiences at the Hickory House and the Oak Room. Carroll gives a charming performance of "Very Early" and McPartland improvises a musical portrait of her guest.
The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.
At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.

P.S. Take a listen at my latest project "Butterflyz"
My CD is coming together.. and once its out- there will be no limit!
Maine is so beautiful. Will it be hard to leave?
That is really a hard question to answer.
