Music has a way of burrowing into my psyche. I don’t know if everyone is wired this way or whether it’s my own peculiar emotional telemetry. I wanted to celebrate the Cowboy Junkies and to me that means celebrating their landmark album, The Trinity Sessions. Nearly 53 minutes of musical bliss was recorded in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto using a single mic back in 1987. The result is…
Just an amazing session!!! I’m so grateful and honored—I can’t wait to share the finished #album with you all!
This is a snippet from “Wabi-Sabi”, movement 2: “Evolution”.

For the April issue of Northshore Magazine, I spent a rainy morning in Rockport with philanthropist Shalin Liu at her namesake performance center. Shalin was a little nervous in front of the camera, but she couldn’t have been more kind or generous with her time as we chatted about the space and her musical interests.

Check This Out: Former Library Converted Into a Four-Bedroom Home
realtor.com
Industrial baron Andrew Carnegie was also a prince of philanthropy. After amassing a fortune in the steel industry in the 19th century, he gave most of it to charity. Carnegie’s beneficence built approximately 2,500 libraries—not only in the U.S. but also abroad.
Now you have a rare chance to live in one of the libraries Carnegie helped build. In Rockport, MA, there’s a four-bedroom, 3.5-bath former library that’s available for $2.95 million—it’s been on the market for a few months.
Built in 1904, this 4,000-square-foot property was constructed smack dab in the middle of Carnegie’s library building boom, which lasted from 1883 to 1929.
“There’s only a few left, so it’s historically important in that respect,” says listing agent Syndi Zaiger of Nest Real Estate.
The current owners were the first to reside in the home after its conversion into a residence; they are now moving to Florida. They made numerous improvements, including a new patio, underground parking, chef-grade appliances in the kitchen, a laundry (or mudroom), as well as a luxe master bath with marble floors, a sunken tub, and a double vanity.
“It was a total renovation,” says Zaiger. “They gutted it.”
Other design features include a rotunda, original floor tile, and a fireplace in the living room. The bonus room could be used as an additional bedroom, an art studio, or even a library—which has a sense of intrinsic logic.

Zaiger is marketing the library-turned-home as “a condo alternative” due to the low-maintenance factor.
“There’s some landscaping but not a huge yard,” she says. “This thing has gorgeous systems, too. There’s two zones for central air, and there’s radiant heating.”
Sturdiness is another factor: The exterior, made of locally quarried granite, is still in immaculate condition 115 years after its construction.
The location may also be enticing to a buyer: The Atlantic Ocean is mere steps away, and across the street from the converted library is a public beach. Boston is 45 minutes away by car, or 75 minutes by train.
“Rockport’s really known for the arts. It’s right in the village across from the Rockport Music-Shalin Liu Performance Center, which has really great concerts,” says Zaiger. “There’s art galleries everywhere and vibrant shops.”
Zaiger thinks a buyer in search of a second home will put in an offer: “You can get a waterfront property at a similar price, but you’re not getting the uniqueness of the property,” she says.

Boston, MA – November 20, 2019 – Eyran Records announces the release of master jazz pianist Eyran Katsenelenbogen’s highly anticipated new solo album, Outstandards.
"I would like to thank the wonderful students at the New England Conservatory Preparatory School for inspiring many of the pieces on Outstandards and their arrangements." — Eyran Katsenelenbogen
In Outstandards, pianist Eyran Katsenelenbogen presents jazzy renditions of classical cornerstones such as “Für Elise" (Beethoven) and Mozart’s “Piano Sonata in C major" alongside jazz classics such as “Tea for Two" (Youmans / Caesar) and “Cheek to Cheek" (Berlin). Katsenelenbogen also revisits Chick Corea’s “Armando’s Rhumba," which was released on his CD Solotude in 2005 and delivers an intimate performance of “Insensatez" (How Insensitive) (Jobim / De Moraes). Prior to their recording for the CD, all the pieces on Outstandards were performed extensively during Eyran’s concert tours in China in 2014 and 2016. The piece “Insensetaz" (How Insensitive) carries a special meaning for Katsenelenbogen and is dedicated it to his parents, in gratitude for their eternal love.
Praise for Eyran Katsenelenbogen
“Perhaps Katsenelenbogen is most in league with Art Tatum for this fact: he sets the bar towards which other pianists must strive." — Jay Deshpande, All About Jazz
“He is a passionate man who feels deeply, and he has the talent to express those feelings through his playing. You can not help but be moved by his performance." — Frank Rubolino, Cadence
“And the fact that, as on Outstandards, Eyran can arrange the most well known classical themes as stride or bebop without losing their essence further defines the term 'virtuoso.'" — Andrea Canter, Jazz Police
"He can do pretty much anything with a piano and there is an irrepressible joy to the playing that we could use right now" — Brian Morton, Jazz Journal
