Do you speak russian? (or know anybody who does?)

I still need a 7-sylable phrase in russian for this tune. I already have one that I might be able to use but I need someone to help me with the pronunciation (google translate didn't make it very clear!). So feel free to suggest new phrases or help me out with the pronunciation of the following phrase: место, где я любовь

Maria Schneider

So I had a last minute gig in Chelsea. I set up my gear and then I had sometime before starting so I went walking around and ended up walking on The Highline (never been there before...very nice by the way). As I was walking back I recognized Jazz Composer Maria Schneider. I introduced myself and told her how I had seen her talks at Berklee and how I had some friends who took part in her workshops. Anyway, she was incredibly nice and she'll have some concerts at the Jazz Standard in NYC in November so check here webpage out. She is truly one of today's most important Jazz composers!

A song about Hemingway

Just found this beautiful song (and a great version too) that talks about Hemingway and his days in Cuba. The song was writen by Luis Eduardo Aute: "En el Caribe, se vive como se escribe" ("In the Caribbean, you live the way you write")
