Hi, Everyone.

I thought you might enjoy this glowing in-depth portrait of Diana's bassist, Bob Hurst. It does mention Diana briefly, as well as Kareem Riggins. Bob will be playing at the (free!) Detroit Jazz Festival this Labor Day weekend.

Thanks, Coda! This is a great profile of Robert. Lots of information I didn't know, such as his influence on Christian McBride.

The only part I take exception to is:
...his recent work with vocalist Diana Krall and crossover trumpeter Chris Botti are Cadillac gigs that reward a sideman’s bank account more than his critical standing.


But I guess we're kind of use to it :dunno:
