Earshot Jazz, no.3, Feb. 1985
This issue begins with an article focusing on books and albums that entail or express the influence of African music on Jazz and other music in the Americas, written by Gary Bannister on page 1. This is followed at the end of page 1 by an article entitled 'The Artist As Self-Promoter' by Allen Youngblood, which discusses an artist's need for a wide variety of skills, venues, and roles, where such opportunities can be found, and how an artist can develop themselves and their art to fit. On page 2 and 3, Earshot Jazz reviews the albums Changes by Keith Jarrett, Amber Skies by David Friesen, Comin' and Goin' by Jim Pepper, and Canoneo by Canoneo. Cover art is The Duke wrapped up in various instruments and a bass drum.

Smith Tower at night, ca. 1928
Transcribed from postcard: "This great building with 600 offices with exterior trim of bronze and interior of steel, finished to resemble highly grained mahogany. Besides possessing every convenience required in the business day, has a Chinese Room adjoining and opening onto the observation balcony. This magnificent room is highly decorated in heavy and finely carved Chinese Teakwood, wrought by native workmen, embellished with myriads of porcelain panels in varying designs, replicas of those in ancient Chinese Temples. No room in America is more gorgeous, visited each day by thousands who are afforded a beautiful vista of Seattle, the bay and lakes and the snow capped mountain ranges, with Mount Rainier and Mount Baker in the distance."
