In addition to enjoying such fine music I have been doubly blessed in using NPR's new music app to download and listen to "Ten" for free. If you are an iPhone user, check out NPR's new Music app.

Jason Moran and the Bandwagon -- "Ten"
I have just started to listen to Jason Moran's new album "Ten." I am impressed so far. While in the modern genre, Moran's music is multi-faceted and has more depth than say, The Bad Plus. The music is varied, rich, and unexpected.

Jazz Ramblings -- Without Much Jazz
Some of you have noticed/complained that Jazz Ramblings has been a little light on - jazz. Your message has been heard. However, the discussion of hockey is not without precedent. See here.
Next week, we will be back with jazz news, highlights, events, and artists. Thanks for the follow!

Blackhawks!!!
Chicago has gone crazy for its hockey team. Here is some interesting search news from Google:
Globally, searches for [blackhawks] trump searches for [flyers] in the sports category although both are experiencing an unprecedented spike compared to past years.
In both Philadelphia and Chicago, the [blackhawks] and [flyers] were top of mind last week:
Searches for [patrick kane] of the Chicago Blackhawks lead the way among searches for players involved in the Stanley Cup Finals.
After each goal scored in Chicago, the Blackhawks play the song “Chelsea Dagger” by the Fratellis. Accordingly, searches for [chelsea dagger] are surging, with Google users in Illinois topping the list and sparking a resurgence of the song across America.
With Googlers in our offices in both Illinois and Pennsylvania, we’ll be watching like the rest of the world to see who wins the greatest trophy in sports. Just make sure you don’t touch the Cup until you actually win it!
