"I'm well Danny and I hope you are as well," began pianist/keyboardist Russell Ferrante, an original founding member of Yellowjackets, who will be at the Bell Theater in Holmdel, NJ on Thursday April 24; their last U.s. show before heading to Europe. "So, the band started in the late '70s; we began as musicians playing with the guitarist Robin Ford and essentially, we formed a band within a band and that became Yellowjackets. Our first recording came out in 1981 and we've been at it since then; touring around the world. Our latest recording, which is called, "Fasten Up" is our twenty-seventh recording and I just took a look at "Jazz Week Magazine" and this is the third week where our recording has been in the number one spot. So, that's very exciting for the band and kind of amazing that after 45 plus years, we are still able to do this. We're really grateful to make music, tour and record and make music; we feel very fortunate."

I believe nothing ever happens as a coincidence, it is just meant to be. Almost 18 years ago I had interest in going to see a singer songwriter from Asbury Park, New Jersey. When I arrived at the brewery I found out that artist was ill and another artist was there to take his place.

Frank Hanavan's Hoboken is wet. In his streetscapes, surfaces glisten. The sky is rarely glowering, but it does seem full; ready to have something to say, or wrapping up something that it is busy saying. The canopy of foliage that hangs over the streetcorners feels saturated with moisture. Even the shadows on the sidewalk are puddle blue. Businesses have their umbrellas open. A few people do, too.
