Anyone seen Musician, the Daniel Kraus documentary on Ken Vandermark?

In a comment, Tom Djll links to Paul Tingen's informative Complete On The Corner Sessions tracklisting.

For the curious, along with the original On The Corner, the box covers Get Up With It and one track from Big Fun. In addition, there are several CDs worth of alternate takes, unedited masters and a few wholly new tracks, too.

you don't even want to know what Milou (Snowy) did to the Castafiore

The KMG's (myspace) are going to the Eurovision. I still haven't seen them (but Jazzques has), so now I feel behind the curve. I have seen its keyboardist Piotr Paluch a couple of times, though, most recently last December with his quartet. Normally I'd say something like "It'll be weird seeing him on TV," but I generally end up not being at home to watch the contest, anyway. Best of luck to them, as they'll have to battle through the semi-finals.
