With so much happening here, where do I begin.  The beginning, I guess…

First and foremost, the SPIRIT MOVES Preorder ends at 11:59pm EST tomorrow.  That means that you have until then to get in on those special offers we’ve been talking about — the free live set from the upcoming Brass Ecstasy Jazz Standard shows this week, the signed copies (almost sold out), etc.  And remember, Subscribers get a 2nd live set free.  Click here to get to the Preorder page.

Second, as mentioned, Brass Ecstasy is kicking off the Spirit Moves Tour this Thursday at Jazz Standard.  Then on to DC, Ottawa, and Chicago, followed by the European leg of the tour.  Click here for all those dates (and there are a lot of them!).

Another show to hit up this week in NYC — Michael Bates’ Outside Sources (with Chris Speed) at The Stone, Tuesday the 16th.  Downbeat is at 10PM.  More info here.

Lastly, our Mixtape Contest is rocking.  Thanks to all who have submitted so far.  We’ll announce the first of 3 winners later this week.
