Nights at the Vanguard

Reviewed by James M. Denson on 2009-01-14  •  Reviews (2)  •  Read Full Review

As all committed jazz enthusiasts know, Tommy Flanagan's tastefulness on piano; George Mraz's strength and certainty on bass; and Al Foster's sheer verve on drums make for a great trio. As the venue for this live performance, the Village Vanguard brings out their best-making this a stupendous example of trio interplay at the highest level.

The most fascinating aspect of the CD for me, and the thing that contributes most to its beauty, is that Flanagan has raised the profile of Thad Jones with gorgeous renditions of his songs, which are unfortunately rarely heard. Examples are A Bitty Ditty, and especially Like Old Times. Through these renditions, Flanagan is giving subtle and brotherly homage to his friend(who like his brothers Hank Jones, Elvin Jones,-and Flanagan himself-all cut their musical teeth in Detroit.)

Hint: Any CD recorded live at the Village Vanguard is well worth having.
Tommy Flanagan's work here gives strong foundation to that statement.

AMERICAN VANGUARD CORP.: International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis (Financial Performance Series)

Reviewed by None  •  Be The First to Review This Item



Editorial Review :: The goal of this report is to assist managers in gauging a company's financial performance vis--vis firms competing in the same sector, at the global level. In particular, this report covers AMERICAN VANGUARD CORP., NEWPORT BEACH, USA.

With the globalization of markets, greater foreign competition, and the reduction of entry barriers, it becomes all the more important to benchmark a company's performance against other firms on a worldwide basis. Doing so, however, is not an obvious task. First, one needs to find firms competing in the same sector. Second, one needs to control for exchange rate volatility. Finally, one needs use comparable financial standards. This report overcomes these issues and gives full financial benchmarks vis--vis worldwide competitors who are present in the same narrow industrial classification. Benchmarks cover assets, liabilities, income and ratios. Since our reports are printed on demand, the figures available are for the latest quarter and are the most up to date available (4 reports are produced each year).

New Year's At The Village Vanguard

Unfortunately, I had never heard of Dr. Michael White and his original Liberty Jazz Band until a recent trip to New Orleans. Jazz was not the type of music I listened to a lot. During our stay in New Orleans, we were invited to a church service at which Dr. White and his Band were the guest musicians. I don't think there are words to describe adequately what I felt, listening to the band and Dr. White's Clarinet. My husband and adult daughter expressed the same feelings.
I have since purchased both CD's and I am just as moved listening to them over and over as I was the first time I heard Dr. Michael White and his original Liberty Jazz Band.
