Metro, December 18-January 18

Since I did almost nothing for the Metro over the last month, I figured I'd just lump the whole run together here. On 12/28, there was a piece on John Medeski and friends' jam-gospel supergroup The Word, but the issue isn't online. I also did a list of Philly-related jazz deaths and a BOTY for shows (cut down from the list posted on this blog), but can't seem to find it - may not have run. But on 1/10, I had a piece about the Philadelphia Orchestra's monthlong Bernstein Festival, celebrating what would have been Lenny's 90th birthday; and on 1/18, an interview with Ladysmith Black Mambazo's Albert Mazibuko. That issue isn't online yet either.
