Patch Me In

I'm pleased to announce that I've teamed up with John over at

Patchchord

, a fine music-oriented resource about the regional music scene. You can take a look at my first contribution for him, a slapdown of Chicago-based jazz pianist Jo Ann Daugherty. I was nonplussed by her performance at the Blue Room Saturday night. I value passion over technical prowess. I hope the young woman takes my criticism to heart.
