Writer and critic Tom D’Antoni broke the story today of KMHD Station Manger Doug Sweet’s resignation. Here’s an excerpt from D’Antoni’s blog on LivePDX:

No, I don’t know what’s going to happen or where he’s going. At this point, my views and the views of others should be kept to ourselves. Expect some major moves, though. One connected person referred to the station as a “jazz museum.” Not my show, of course, and not several others. But that person has a point.

If you’re in the mood to read a review of The Cave that doesn’t question the need for another jazz club in Portland (as the Oregonian’s did), head over to LivePDX and check out Tom D’Antoni’s review of the new club.

Remember, if you’re looking for more information on The Cave, make sure to check all of the items on JazzPDX.org tagged The Cave.

Portland-based writer/critic and all-around music-fan Tom D’Antoni has a new blog over at LivePDX. It’s not dedicated to jazz, but rather it cover’s D’Antoni’s wide musical tastes, ranging from Storm Large duos with Sam Adams to Wayne Horovitz.

Especially worth checking out is his “Best/Worst of 2007 post”.
