link to book in response to Andrew - David Vasileff via Bookmarklet
Thanks, I have this one. Seemed a bit too advanced for the beginner but maybe I need to spend a little more time with it. - Andrew
Jazz Piano From Scratch, http://bit.ly/2cxF6t might be good for the beginner. - David Vasileff

“How many of you are musicians?”
July 24 at 2:59 pm - Link
Classically trained violinist and pianist. Have taken a long absence from my music, but want to explore jazz piano a bit. Any tips for getting started (books etc.)? - Andrew
The Jazz Piano Book, by Mark Levine - David Vasileff
I studied jazz saxophone in college, had to stop pursuing it because of a hand injury. I play piano and guitar for fun now - David Vasileff
I am charmingly incompetent on a variety of instruments, but guitar primarily. Rule of thumb: the more wine you drink, the better I sound. - Tom Cunniff

“At the Portland Jazz Festival I had the good fortune to hear the Tord Gustavsen Trio. I didn't know much about him but it was a wonderful performance. I'm a big fan of Jarrett and Bill Evans and I'm definitely adding this guy to my list of favorites.Who are your favorite jazz piano players?”

The duke, McCoy tyner, jarrett... many :) - directeur via NoiseRiver

Any guys we may not have heard of? Always looking to add new names to the list. - Andrew
Oh yes sure! Well, what about my friend Kerry Politzer? :) http://www.allaboutjazz.com/ph... - directeur via NoiseRiver
I really liked 'Being There' and very glad I saw the trio at SFJAZZ last year. Brad Mehldau is one of my favorite contemporary pianists. - David Vasileff
Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett.... - Sean McBride
And how could I forget Thelonious Monk, one of the greatest and most original jazz pianists of all time. - Sean McBride
Oh! Yes! The Monk! and Ahmad Jamal and Abdullah Ibrahim... :) - directeur via NoiseRiver
Art Tatum, John Tesh (kidding)... - Andrew

East Coast Getting Tidal Energy Projects
July 16 at 4:36 pm - Link
Can't help but notice most of these projects are in the low MW range. You know, 1/80th of a coal plant or something. Ugh. - Alexis Madrigal
I remember reading somewhere that researchers at Oregon State are working on something that would generate more significant MW. See: http://eecs.oregonstate.edu/we... - Andrew

This Press Release Sucks. Re-write It to Win a Seth Godin Action Figure
June 26 at 5:09 pm - Link
In an attempt to help them out, I actually informed the company of the link above (I'm so selfless) in the hope that they would rewrite the press release and win the Seth Godin action figure for themselves. - Andrew
I was wondering if we HAD to take the action figure for the prize?! lol - Kevin Dugan

Any intial impressions of Portland's newest blog Our PDX Network?
June 26 at 8:49 am - Link
I think it should be an open blog that allows other bloggers in PDX to post stories. Kind of like: www.socialmediatoday.com - Andrew
I think it's best summarized as "Like Metblogs, but without the suck" - Aaron B. Hockley
Um...I'm totally biased (it's my baby!), but it may grow up to be an open blog. One day. But not right now - it's a sideline of mine, and doing an open blog right would take more time and energy than I can give it, honestly. - Betsy Richter

Shankman's got nearly 10,000 PR folk waiting for emails three times a day. If you don't know why, you need to check out Help a Reporter Out. The media help those that help themselves.

I don't find many of the requests very useful, quite off topic, PR Newswire's filters are much more relevant, interesting to read the commentary though. - John Cass

Just started to get these. Wondering if anyone has found this useful... - Al Stevens
Al, I am sure people have, just a matter of doing some digging. A filter would be nice. - John Cass
John - It's still a case of you get what you pay for I guess. It looks like he's focusing on demand in the hopes to get more supply...or vice versa. - Kevin Dugan
that's true Kevin, the price is right - John Cass
As someone who is a ProfNet subscriber and a HARO recipient, I have to say that more queries are moving over to Peter's "project." I'm certain the folks at United Business Media have started noticing the threat to their high-margin service. - Cyrus Afzali
Cyrus he is certainly getting quite a few message, however, I have my ProfNet messages set up on a filter, a fairly narrow focus, and I receive far more queries on that subject from ProfNet than the email list. I would imagine the numbers are still greater on ProfNet. - John Cass
On a different level, this is a great case study/example of building a brand - very quickly - online. - john ratcliffe-lee
I've found it to be a 50/50 relevance with Help a Reporter Out, but the same holds true for me with ProfNet as well. It certainly doesn't hurt to be on both lists, although I am starting to see some of the same inquiries on ProfNet showing up on Peter's list as well. It's also a matter of timing--I get Peter's first listing much earlier than I get my ProfNet feed. I definitely think there's benefits to both. - Pierce Mattie
Does anyone know how many reporters are using HARO? - Andrew
How do you know his list is 10K? - Amanda Chapel
