Just get to the Verb...

Greetings,

"Just get to the verb," said Robert Altman, the late great maverick film director. It was mentioned at a recent tribute in Manhattan and covered by David Carr from the NYT. The link is below.

"Yeah, let's not do that," was another well known Altman phrase. He directed
"M-A-S-H," "Nashville," "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," "The Player," "Gosford Park," "The Gingerbread Man," "Dr. T & The Women," and his last film, "A Prairie Home Companion."

"I eat writers for breakfast," he said upon meeting the cartoonist Gary Trudeau. Delicious.

...Changing notes, if you're into jazz, feel free to check out: TATI with Enrico Rava, Paul Motian and Stefano Bollani, METHANY MEHLDAU with Pat Methany on guitar and Brad Mehldau on piano, and LONTANO by the Tomasz Stanko Quartet.

Peace.
