Hey Jon,

It's your slacker friend Curt.  Sorry it took me so long to respond!  First off, Happy New Year to you.  It's been a long while since we've heard from you.  I checked out your tune--listening to it now.  Good job.  It definitely has a Zawinul vibe to it.  Did you do it with Garage Band?  As an Apple employee, it is always good to see people using our products.  :-)

Did you ever manage to find my article on Joe in Wax Poetics?

Take care,
Curt

I wanted to say a warm Happy New Year to pierre, anil, gerhard, curt and everyone else on this line - let's hope that 2005 brings good and healthy things for you all.

As you know I am always a little keen to be a bit controversial - well I am not trying to be here, but I have just posted a latest piece of music (I compose in my spare time) and would REALLY appreciate your thoughts. The reason being that I know that with ALL of you guys that you like the same music as me - we're a VERY rare breed, and so when someone gives me feedback but actually loves New Kids oN the Block - well - how can I take THAT too seriously.

I ought to mention something in advance. The piece I have just posted is the ONLY one I have ever dared to do that included any of Zawinul's music. My choice in doing so here was simply because it seemed to fit what I was after. I am definitely not trying to re-interpret or re-do any of his work. All that happened was that I put the piece together and then somehow it came to me that I could include The Harvest in the middle - and the end result (even though it is still unfinished) is what you will find.

Be good y'all

Jon
