- Help Haiti, Support Art
My friend Josh just hipped me to a beautiful little project on MagCloud. It’s called Onè Respe, and it collects the work of several very good photographers to provide a reminder of what has been (temporarily) lost in the Haitian earthquake.
Several photographers, including the iconic photojournalist Mary Ellen Mark, have donated photographs to help create this special fund-raising collection of captivating images to benefit the people of Haiti. The title Haiti: Onè Respe comes from a traditional Haitian greeting meaning “honor and respect.”
Since MagCloud has generously offered to pay for the printing costs, your purchase price will be donated in full to the American Red Cross
International Response Fund for Haiti relief.Photographs by: Chet Gordon, Kari Hartmann, Mary Ellen Mark, Peter Pereira, Lindsay Stark. Edited by Lane Hartwell and Michael Biven
It’s only $12 and all proceeds go to the American Red Cross International Response Fund for Haiti relief. Plus you get a beautiful little book out of deal. Here’s a few sample spreads…

- New Mix: Keys
Just made a new mix for the new year. It’s called Keys Open Doors - music from across time and space tied together by a common thread of piano. Lots of good stuff on here… soul, some hip hop, r&b, salsa, some Lilith Fair type of songs, minimalist classical, old school house, UK hardcore, all sorts… It’s the second in the Instrumentalist series. First horns, now piano. Hope you enjoy…

- The champ is gone.
Willie Mitchell, one of the greatest music producers of all time, died yesterday. I hate to start to the new year on a somber note, but considering how much pleasure I’ve taken from this man’s music, it would be borderline sociopathic for me to let this slide. I wish I had the time to get all the way into it, but for now (I hope) it suffices to say that I would not be the man I am today had I not come into contact with the comforting challenge of Willie’s music. Since I first heard it as a young music nerd growing up, the sound that he generated as producer/arranger for Hi Records, has been (and will always be) a path to growth - emotional and sensual (+ spiritual, even visual). It is, in my opinion, the greatest soul music ever made.
Willie Mitchell - Groovin
For a few details on his passing and what he was getting up to recently, check this article. Better though is this interview from a very years ago. Best, is just to enjoy his amazing body of work, so let’s do it. Rest in peace Willie. Can’t thank you enough…
