CSI, Top 100 Jazz Reviews Album, And 2nd Graders Who Dig Trane

I was flipping channels on the tv today, and on SPIKE there was a CSI episode named “Felonious Monk” :D !!!!! Unfortunatley, it was just about the killings of monks, nothing to do with jazz. :(

Anyways, I was browsing around today and found this great website listing the Top 100 Jazz Albums as selected by voters. You can find the site here (editor’s note: Link is down. Google it.)

And finally, I found this great article about a class of 2nd graders who dig Trane! Here’s the article: (editor: Again, google it.)  Apparently a teacher played some Trane for them, and they really liked the ballads and avant stuff. When the Coltrane House was going to be destroyed, they held tons of fundraisers to save it and fix it up. Take a read, it’s really inspiring.
