Michael Brecker's son - Sam Brecker and his Mom - Susan Brecker - Feb. 20, 2007 speaking to many friends and family at Town Hall NYC Michael Brecker Memorial gathering and concert - powerful evening in memory of Mike - Jon Hammond
http://ibrecker.com/memorial.html
The MICHAEL BRECKER MEMORIAL was held at Town Hall in New York City on Tuesday, February 20th. (thanks to Russ Paladino)
Here are some comments from a couple of the attendees:
"I went to the Michael Brecker Tribute last night and all I can say was it was a beautiful, spiritual and uplifting experience. All of the speakers were so eloquent, but maybe none so much as Sam, Michael's son. What a composed, intelligent kid he is! He talked about Michael, the Dad, which gave everyone a real glimpse into the human side of this man we equate to a God.
There was laughter, and tears and great live music, and it seemed somehow like Michael spirit was there very strongly. The audience was packed with Jazz Royalty...Wayne Shorter Kenny Baron, Mike Stern, James Carter, Hiram Bullock, Will Lee, David Sanborn, Eddie Palmieri to name just a few.
I brought a camera with me, but honestly the event was kind of like a wake and it felt inappropriate to snap pictures during the eulogies. After the show people were reminiscing and the artists didn't seem to want to play the artist fan game. We all just were sharing our mutual love for Michael. There were video people and photographers there so maybe they plan to post some of the eulogies on the website?" - Russ Paladino
"It was a memorial fitting to all of Mike's distinguished accomplishments on the stage and off. Here's a brief rundown:
Darryl Pitt (Mikes Manager) talked about Mike. Randy came out and played a tune with James Genus on bass, Joey Calderazzo on piano and Jeff 'Tain' Watts on drums...then Randy spoke about Mike. Next up was Sam Brecker, Mikes' 13 year old son, who is an astounding speaker for someone that young. Then old friend Dave Liebman talked about Mike and played a very pretty tune on the flute. Next was Pat Metheny who played a nice tune on the acoustic guitar and then spoke about Mike. Herbie Hancock spoke next about Mike then played a tune with John Patitucci (bass) and Jack DeJohnette (drums). Then James Taylor made a video appearance from California to speak about Mike. James credited Mike with 'saving his life'. I believe it.
Next up was a very moving video tribute about Mike's career from early on through present day. Then Susan Brecker took the stage and moved everyone to tears telling us some personal stuff about Mike, in the home... and regarding the kids... family stuff... What a neat lady she is, she was truly blessed to have married Mike and produced two beautiful children. They are truly Mike's most personal legacy. Paul Simon closed out the musical part of the memorial singing 'Still Crazy After All These Years' then spoke about Mike.
Sam Brecker and Herbie Hancock plus friends did some Buddist chanting for about three minutes. Sam and Jessica Brecker closed out the memorial thanking everyone from the bottom of their hearts for coming to remember their dad." - Sandy Brown
Music selection:
1) Midnight Voyage from "Tales From The Hudson"- (Randy came out and played a tune with James Genus on bass, Joey Calderazzo on piano and Jeff 'Tain' Watts on drums)
2) Gathering Of Spirits from "Saxophone Summit - Gathering Of Spirits" (Then old friend Dave Liebman talked about Mike and played a very pretty tune on the flute.)
3) Every Day I Thank You � From Pat Metheny 80/81 - Pat Metheny said he wrote this song specifically for Michael (Next was Pat Metheny who played a nice tune on the acoustic guitar)
4) Chan's Song from "The Nearness of You" - (Herbie Hancock spoke next about Mike then played a tune with John Patitucci (bass) and Jack DeJohnette (drums)
5) Still Crazy After All These Years - (Paul Simon & Herbie Hancock on Fender Rhodes) - Paul Simon told the story of Michael coming to the studio that day to record this classic solo. He sat down and listened to the song 2 or 3 times, then went into the playing room and recorded a spot on perfect solo. He came back and asked Simon if he liked it....Paul Simon laughed and replied, Uh....Yeah, having been blown away. Then Michael asked "do you mind if I take another one?" He laughed and said "sure go ahead." (He didn't say which take was chosen, but that was it...2 takes) He also told us that in all the years and hundreds of times that he's performed that song he's had many other great sax players on tour with him besides Michael, but always...always they would quote Michael's solo first, then take off on their own.
And finally it should be noted that Susan Brecker had only one stipulation about the live performances... there would be no other saxophones played. The only sax we heard on this night was that of Michael Brecker. I though this was a very wise choice. - Russ Paladino — at The Town Hall

San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge -- Slow down 35 MPH for the curve people! Not 50 or 60 like lots are doing - Jon Hammond
Dead Man's Curve
http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Ideas-offered-to-slow-S-curve-motorists-3211750.php
Getting drivers to slow down for the Bay Bridge S-curve might seem like an unusual challenge, but some states have been dealing with troublesome curves on interstate highways for decades, using everything from speed cameras and flashing lights to grooved pavement and unusual lane markings to get drivers to slow down and pay attention.
Some of these tactics will be used on the S-curve after a series of accidents, including a fatality Monday morning, sparked a public outcry for safety improvements at the temporary detour on the Bay Bridge. At least 43 accidents - or an average of five per week - have occurred on the curve since the detour opened to traffic Sept. 8.
"People just don't want to slow down," said Russ Rader, a spokesman for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which researches traffic safety. "The question is: How do you make them?"
Many cities have dangerous curves on highways that have earned infamy and nicknames because of the large number of accidents. In Cleveland, the 90-degree curve on Interstate 90 nearing downtown is called "Deadman's Curve."
Opened in 1959, the curve quickly became a problem. Like the Bay Bridge, the speed limits on either side of the curve are 50 mph - which drivers usually exceed, said Jocelynn Clemings, a spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Transportation.
The sharp turn requires drivers to slow to 35 mph. To get drivers to reduce their speeds, the department has, over the years, put in "a lot of flashing signage" along with grooved pavement that makes a loud vibrating sound when drivers pass over it, and extra arrows, or chevrons, on the pavement.
While drivers are more aware, she said, "There are quite often accidents of varying severity," and the Department of Transportation plans to "flatten" the curve sometime in the next decade, she said.
Kansas City has two troublesome curves that it has tamed with speed sensors and flashing lights that warn drivers on Interstate 70 to slow down. Trucks frequently overturned at the Jackson and Benton curves, prompting the Missouri Department of Transportation to install a special warning system about 20 years ago.
The system uses a sensor planted in each lane to read the speed of vehicles approaching the curves. If they're speeding, flashing lights over their lane activate and a sign blares: "Driving too fast when lights flashing."
"We've had a pretty noticeable reduction in accidents," said Jesse Skinner, an interstate corridor engineer with the Missouri Department of Transportation.
Elsewhere, the department also has used radar signs - one for each lane of traffic - that read and display drivers' speeds next to signs showing the speed limit.
"People drive what (speed) they feel comfortable driving," Skinner said. "If you want them to slow down, you have to get their attention."
Caltrans also employed flashing lights and prominent signs to do just that at "the Fishhook," the sharply curved intersection of highways 1 and 17 in Santa Cruz, and the curve was widened recently to make it easier to navigate. Colin Jones, a Caltrans spokesman, said the devices improved safety at the interchange but noted that drivers changing highways are more likely to slow down than those driving across a bridge and entering a curve.
Anne McCartt, vice president of research at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, said the key to slowing drivers is enforcement of speed laws. Speed cameras, which use radar to measure speed and then automatically issue a ticket, can be especially effective in an area like the S-curve, or where it could be difficult for police to pull over speeders.
"The advantage of automated enforcement is that it can happen anytime of the day or night, wherever it is needed," she said.
McCartt also recommended stricter enforcement of speeds on the entire bridge, saying that it is unrealistic to expect drivers to slow from speeds in excess of 50 mph to 35 mph for the curve.
Caltrans officials already have installed extra signs and flashing lights, and plan more safety improvements to slow motorists, including reflective striping near the top of the bridge's barrier walls, a large overhead sign warning of the curve and of the reduced speed on the upper deck of the bridge, and radar boards flashing drivers' speeds. Caltrans spokesman Bart Ney said the agency also is considering installing grooved pavement or rows of pavement markers to warn drivers they are approaching the curve.
Sorry William, you missed the McIntosh model 225, better luck next time! - Jon Hammond
MC225 - *Random Reviews: "Bottom Line:
The 225 matches excelently to My Klipsch Belle's and My Klipschorns. The 104 db/watt efficiency of these systems is a must for an amplifier of this size. 118 db peak passages are possible without clipping - a must for any realistic reproduction of music. Try to get 118 db peaks from any of the low efficiency speakers ( less than 100 db/watt ) and you end up with an impossible situation.
The 225's have fixed bias, this should be critically set as I have found that amplifier signatures change with as little as 5ma. differences. The Sovetek 7591A's (not XYZ) are better sounding tubes than the NOS stuff being sold."

Pioneering Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt lamented that he might be neglected by history, but today the ebulliently swinging “jazz manouche” sound he created with French violinist Stéphane Grappelli is more pervasive than ever. And no one has done more to ignite interest in the idiom than dazzling French guitarist and violinist Dorado Schmitt. Born to Gypsy parents near the German border in Lorraine, Schmitt was weaned on traditional Roma music and Gypsy jazz, but rebelled as a teenager by taking up electric guitar and emulating Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana. After a decade of leading his own trio, he was nearly killed in a car crash, and spent years in physical therapy to regain his unrivaled guitar prowess. By the mid-90s he was a leading figure on the international Gypsy jazz scene, where he continues to represent the art form at its highest level. He’s joined by a cast of fiercely swinging compatriots, including the brilliant jazz accordionist Ludovic Beier and violinist Pierre Blanchard, who was tapped by Grappelli himself as a worthy successor. SFJAZZ has presented Schmitt many times over the years and his performances are always among our most popular. — at Herbst Theatre

The great Boxer Floriano Pagliara aka Floriano L'Italiano Pagliara flanked by big Mike Warren and Jon Hammond at Mike's wonderful Cupcake Cafe on Ninth Avenue New York City - Check out Floriano's webiste folks:
http://www.florianopagliara.com/
and Wikipedia: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floriano_Pagliara
Floriano Pagliara (Marbach am Neckar, 31 dicembre 1978) è un pugile italiano, nato in Germania, ma cresciuto a Cecina.
Nonostante la Germania gli abbia dato i natali e il cognome tradisca origini pugliesi, Floriano è cresciuto a Cecina (LI). Floriano Pagliara inizia a praticare il pugilato all'età di 15 anni presso la Boxe Cecina; un anno e otto mesi dopo disputa il suo primo incontro da dilettante ottenendo subito un successo.
Da allora ben 55 incontri da dilettante (41 vittorie, 4 pareggi e 10 sconfitte), tra cui due con la maglia della nazionale italiana (2004). Nel palmares del pugile cecinese anche due vittorie del Torneo Internazionale di Cremona, 10 titoli regionali (dal 1995 al 2005) e due secondi posti ai campionati italiani assoluti.

James Brown and his personal entourage made a special journey to Michael's family house in the tiny village of Setzingen 'kleines dorf' nearby Ulm Germany, in the middle of night in 2 white limousines so that Mr. Brown could meet Michael's mother, father and his sister Martina. Here you will see the photos that have never before been shown as James Brown has cake with the family and enjoys immensely playing soul music together with Michael in their house and Hammond Organ Studio Germany, which is one of the greatest Hammond organ museums in all of the world, built by Michael's father Professor Klaus Maier and Michael together as a tribute to Laurens Hammond founder of Hammond Instrument Company and clocks of Chicago ILL
The story will be forthcoming as soon as Michael can bring himself to write it as he is still mourning the loss of his Godfather James Brown R.I.P. enjoy these never-before-seen photos and original music recording of Michael "Time With You" as heard on Jon Hammond's HammondCast Show KYOU Radio — with James Brown and Michael Falkenstein

His aggressive lead sound influenced many rock bass players.[1][2] He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Who in 1990.

John DeLorean when we met just casually walking down Fifth Avenue - very nice cat, rest in peace!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_DeLorean
John Zachary DeLorean (January 6, 1925 – March 19, 2005) was an American engineer and executive in the U.S. automobile industry, most notably with General Motors, and founder of the DeLorean Motor Company.
He was best known for developing the Pontiac GTO muscle car, the Pontiac Firebird, Pontiac Grand Prix, and the DeLorean DMC-12 sports car, which was later featured in the 1985 film Back to the Future, and for his high profile 1982 arrest on charges of drug trafficking. The alleged drug trafficking was supposedly an attempt to raise funds for his struggling company, which declared bankruptcy that same year. He successfully defended himself against the drug trafficking charges, showing that his alleged involvement was a result of entrapment by federal agents.
John Zachary DeLorean was born on January 6, 1925 in Detroit, Michigan, the eldest of four sons of Zachary and Kathryn Pribak DeLorean.

He drms in a jazz band at night, then tours motorcycle shops by day. "But who would have imagined," he says, "that I'd be doing it in Shanghai!"Woody, 59, is a fixture at the Portman Ritz-Carlton Hotel lounge, but his real claim to fame is a motorbike with sidecar on display in the lobby. The Chang Jiang is a Chinese knockoff of the classic 1930s BMW R-71. During World War II, the Germans gave the design to Russia, which passed it to China. Woody fell in love with it on a 1998 trip to Beijing. He bought one, and another. Soon, he had shops refurbishing them. Now he's a top vendor of the bikes, which have a global cult following. In 2003 he sold two dozen for about $10,000 each. "It's not really a dream job, more like a nightmare," he quips http://www.vsidecars.com/home/current/page1/

NYPD is on the scene to make sure there won't be any hanky panky..this is the big day people! - Jon Hammond
#1 Voter at my polling place - photographic proof - Jon Hammond *Note: The scanning machine is scanning my paper ballot at 6:13AM.

Joe Biden, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Democratic early bird voter here in New York City - JH — at Times Square
Get on down to your polling place and vote my fellow Americans! *Note: There is a tricky thing on the ballot - it says "Vote for any four" in one group of four. I had the supervisor come in and sure enough he told me that it is really "Vote for ONE of four" - he told me if I voted for all 4 it would invalidate my ballot. Take care to do it correctly folks.
