Seattle Times: Jazz Port Townsend: a touch of New Orleans and the Caribbean
by Hugo Kugiya in today’s Seattle Times
Tonight, in a former blimp hangar on the grounds of Fort Worden State Park, a rite of the Crescent City will be performed when New Orleans trombonist Wycliffe Gordon leads his band in a set of dance music from his hometown, bringing the second line to Jazz Port Townsend for the first time.
“Dances have always been popular at the festival,” said Jordan Hartt of Centrum, the local arts organization presenting the annual jazz festival. “We’ve done blues and jazz, but this is the first time we’ve had New Orleans dancing.”
Playing with Gordon’s band is guest trombonist Andre Hayward, a Houston native. Chairs will be moved and a large space cleared in front of the stage in McCurdy Pavilion for dancing that is part of the jazz tradition in New Orleans.

Have you signed up for the ECM Newsletter? Your email and password might have been compromised.
Today we received a nice email from ECM Records listing some of their new releases.
The first thing we noticed was that they pasted all of the email addresses beginning with “b” and “c” into the CC section. This means that everyone receiving the email can see who it was sent to.
The larger problem is that somehow all of the passwords that people used when signing up for the ECM Newsletter were also included. And if you are like us, the same passwords get used for multiple websites.
As of right now it appears that ECM has given all of their newsletter subscribers the email addresses and passwords of everyone on their list.
If you have registered for the ECM Newsletter we strongly suggest that you change your email password.
Multiple calls to ECM in New York were busy.
