<\/a>Blog of the Week<\/span><\/strong>: Pond Patrol!<\/span><\/a> This is simply one of the most creative blogs I have ever seen. Every thursday there is a new installment in the ongoing saga of The Pond Patrol Team. The writer (and photographer and poser of the action figures) is taking a break until January 11th, so this is the time to work your way through the archives and get caught up on this unique experience in the blogosphere.<\/p>\n![\"Coltranelove_supreme_6\"](\"https:\/\/jazztheologian.typepad.com\/findingthegroove\/images\/coltranelove_supreme_6.jpg\")
<\/a> Album of the week<\/span><\/strong>: I’ve been listening to Coletrane again. It doesn’t get any better than his trademark, "A Love Supreme." I’ve written much about this work here<\/span><\/a>. This is a must album for any building a jazz library of essentials.<\/p>\n![\"Isjazzdead\"](\"https:\/\/jazztheologian.typepad.com\/findingthegroove\/images\/isjazzdead.jpg\")
<\/a>Book of the Week<\/span><\/strong>: "Is Jazz Dead: or has it moved to a new address"<\/u> is a book your going to want to pick up to catch up on the latest debates in and about jazz. If you are not aware this is a huge debate as to what makes jazz, jazz and who gets to decide. Much of the controversy swirls around Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at the Lincoln Center<\/span><\/a>. This is a book that will serve to catch you up on the state of jazz in America (and Europe) as we move into it’s second century of existence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
