I am counting down the days until Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra visit Minneapolis. I have managed to swing front row seats and look forward to a lively evening. I may even introduce a few photos to the blog for the first time.
In the meantime, check out Wynton and former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor discussing jazz and the government.

Holiday Gift Ideas
There are a huge number of gift ideas for jazz lovers but I am attempting to narrow down the list for those who don't have the time.
First, I have to mention the new Miles Davis Kind of Blue 50th Anniversary Deluxe Box set. Most stores who carry such items are offering it for $100 or less. If you purchase the set through Jazz Live at Lincoln Center's Gift Shop, you pay an additional $100 but get additional sets and the autograph of last surviving member and drummer Jimmy Cobb.
The Box Set contains: 180-ram blue vinyl LP in original jacket, two compact discs (more than 2 hours of music), new documentary DVD celebrating Kind of Blue, 60-Page book of critical essays and annotations plus discographical data, timeline and photos, 6 evocative 8X10 photos and a 22x23 Miles Davis poster, a reproduction of a Columbia Records promotional brochure and more.
Jazz at Lincoln Center also has a number of other items you could peruse.
The Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis offers a wide variety of live recordings, shirts, mugs, and gift cards.
The Artists' Quarter in St. Paul also offers gift cards.
Next, check out some great shirts, mugs, and ties at Zazzle.
You can spice up the morning with some Holiday Jazz Coffee from Community Coffee of Louisiana.
The New York Times has put together a decent list for jazz lovers. Check it out here.
I hope this list will at least get you started. And, if you are anything like me, you won't hesitate to pick up a few items for yourself.
