It took me a while, but I have finally posted about "Grace" on my blog:
http://mikechimeriblog.com/2008/07/13/ken-navarro-the-grace-of-summer-light/
And I'm considering recording an interview with Ken. We'd talk on the phone, recording our ends of the conversation on our computers. Then Ken could send his end to me and I'd mix the two sides together. It would be like what Ken did for that "Meeting Place" audio commentary with Jay Rowe last March.

Thanks Mike - very nice!

Also, per Bonnie's request, here's some upcoming show info for the DC/VA/MD area -

I will be appearing at The National Harbor Concert Series on Friday, August 29. It's a free show and I will have the musicians from "The Grace of Summer Light" CD with me - Joel Rosenblatt on drums, Tom Kennedy on bass and Jay Rowe on keyboards. Here is a link... http://www.nationalharbor.com/Events.aspx?id=1002

October 18 is Homecoming Day at C.W. Post, and I'm doing my alumni show at 3:30 that afternoon, but I will definitely promote the concert during my show. And if I could pre-record an interview with Ken for that show, that'd be great, too.

Thanks Kat - I'm really looking forward to that one too! We'll be playing a lot of the new music from "Grace". I love working with you and Kevin and all the great folks at Jump Start Jazz.

And Mike - let's do the interview. Send me a PM and we'll set it up.

Ken

Okay. I'll PM you to set up as we get closer to October 18. So, I guess mid-to-late September or early October.

Great interview, Ken- the writer asked some great questions.
I'm glad to hear you've "moved to a different place" than the typical smooth jazz groove....of course WE all know that anyway, but the general public may not realize how much good music is still alive in contemporary jazz, yours being among the best.

Honestly haven't listened to Grace in a few weeks, been busy- time to give it another spin.

Later
TY

Ken and I recorded our interview two Fridays ago. I just spent five days editing it and adding in music excerpts. It will air in two parts during my alumni radio show next Saturday at 4PM Eastern on WCWP.
I chronicled the editing process on my blog in the following posts:

Both parts of my interview with Ken Navarro, along with an aircheck of my alumni radio show (which unexpectedly had to start at 3PM), can be found here.
