Some things we didn't mention on the blog this week:

—George Wein is kind of adorable writing about seeing actual young people see actual jazz actually in Brooklyn. As you may know, he is taking a club-oriented, and quite interesting approach to this year's big summer jazz festival in New York.

—Jason Moran makes theGrio's 100 of (African American) "History Makers in the Making," complete with video. He's also playing with Mary Halvorson and Ron Miles (!) for George Wein's summer festival.

—Speaking of Mary Halvorson, a live set and interview with the guitarist on the BBC's Jazz on 3.

—The Robert Glasper trio recently played Gilles Peterson's Worldwide Awards show (and took home Jazz Album of the Year honors too). Peterson's Brownswood label has a recording from that set.

—The Ravi Coltrane Quartet with Geri Allen, recorded live by WBGO.

—The uncut interview with trumpeter Wadada Leo Smith, an edited version of which appeared in The Wire.

—A Village Vanguard slideshow, from Eric Benson and New York magazine's excellent Vulture blog. Also, Jim Macnie has some revealing bits about the Vanguard from Joe Lovano.

—Jamie Cullum is becoming a BBC radio host.

—Matana Roberts points us to a ridiculous video of an "angelic" saxophonist, and wonders about its implications on her own work.

—A reminder that The Checkout is good. This week: John Ellis & Double-Wide, Lionel Loueke and Marcus Gilmore duet, and listening to Joe Cuba.

Then, some reminders of things we did mention:

 

—New Herbie Hancock record announced, to feature many famous people (again)
—DownBeat online, sort of for free?
—Bobby Carcasses is not pronounced like the plural of "carcass," but is touring the U.S.
—This blog post involves Tokyo, YouTube contests and incredibly expensive jazz clubs
—The Jazzhus Montmartre is reopening

Finally, elsewhere around the NPR Music jazz orbit:

—It didn't go unnoticed that the Village Vanguard's 7th Avenue South home turns 75 this week.
—Dee Dee Bridgewater is the featured artist this week on the program she hosts.
—Jose James has a remarkable voice.
—Steve Kuhn on Piano Jazz.
—Afro-Cuban takes on jazz classics is the headline.
