Confirmation: Weekly News and Notes

*Logan Richardson is the subject of an ingratiating profile at All About Jazz.

*The Kansas City Star expands on Plastic Sax’s 2014 field trip to the gravesite of Julia Lee.

*Joe Dimino documents what some people might characterize as irresponsible behavior.

*Tweet of the Week: André Wahala- What I'm reading. No, I know nothing about Jazz apart from the sounds, the names and occasional visits to Pizza Express Jazz and Ronnie Scott's (privilege of London life). Totes outside my comfort zone but learning. Had no idea Kansas City MO was such a hot spot.
