Laila Biali's Jazz In The Age Of Lonely Hearts

Read "Laila Biali's Jazz In The Age Of Lonely Hearts" reviewed by Sean Conroy


Releasing art into the wild is an act that is fraught with doubt and second guessing. These feelings are not unique to jazz artists, or even artists of this generation of immediate sharing and viral sensations. Writing of her friends' decision to surprise her by publishing her verse, 17th century American poet Anne Bradstreet was apologetic: ...

Jazz Alley: Jazz Finds A Way In Ashland, Kentucky

Read "Jazz Alley: Jazz Finds A Way In Ashland, Kentucky" reviewed by Sean Conroy


Jazz returns this summer to the Paramount Arts Center--Ashland, Kentucky's ninety-year-old Art Deco shrine to early American film. It is perhaps poetic that the PAC, designed to showcase the silent films of Paramount Studios, now hosts not only musicals, plays, and rock concerts, but also-- every summer--live jazz, crossing genres and planting its flag ...

Craig Tweddell Quintet: Away with Words

Read "Away with Words" reviewed by Nicholas F. Mondello


Perhaps it's more than coincidental that Craig Tweddell titled this intriguing recording a snowclone--Away With Words.
