It's Friday and time to Take Five … links that is:

• If you're heading north across the pond (Lake Ontario that is…) and want to catch some jazz, BlogTO has a post on the best jazz bars in Toronto. Let us know if you've been to any of these or have other suggestions for Toronto jazz clubs in the comments to this post.
• Although the mainstream media is laying off jazz journalists, Jazzhouse.org, the official organ of the Jazz Journalists Association is holding on.
• Marc Myers takes the Kennedy Center to task in JazzWax for ignoring jazz once again in its Honors … twice.
• More than many of you would want to know about the saxophone on Sax on the Web.
• The blog of PDFJazzMusic.com an online source for big band and other charts.

So take five and explore. Let me know what you think in the comments ….There will be five more next week.
