seis poemas
New Susana Baca CD available today: Seis Poemas.
Six poetic songs for $6.99.
Hearing Susana's voice on the radio for the first time remains one of my most vivid memories, almost 10 years later. Please give this new CD a listen.
Eco de Sombras is another Susana Baca CD I highly (highly) recommend. For more on Susana Baca, click here.

new blog
Welcome to search for the new land.
The title comes from a song written by trumpeter Lee Morgan (right). One of my all-time favorite jazz recordings, and I think fitting for the kinds of posts to follow.
There's still a lot I'm not sure about, including just how often I'll keep up with it. But I'll try to share what's special. What's elusive. And some random stuff, too. What I'm searching for, what I'm finding.
Part of the search began about two years ago, with a project entitled A Thousand Stories. It's a documentary that features the artists of today. Through an interview and storytelling process I try to touch on the mystery of creativity, and reveal what's on the minds of these brilliant musicians, poets, illustrators, painters, and more.
So I'll let you know when new stories are posted on the website. Even with the new blog, I'm still going to keep the diary page on the site; perhaps saving it for very special entries of one kind or another.
Hope you enjoy,
{gregory}
