Many Birds With Strings

JazzWax by Marc Myers
I love Charlie Parker With Strings. It's such pretty, soulful music from one of the first jazz artists to cross over to the American songbook with an easy listening twist. And I know many readers share my passion for Bird with strings. First, let's listen to an example so those who aren't familiar have a sense... Yesterday, I went on YouTube and looked around for tributes to the Parker with Strings catalog. To my surprise and pleasure, I was able ...

Danny Michel first fell in love with the Central American country of Belize 15 years ago when he traveled there for a break from a cold Canada winter.

Digital Music News
It's been official for a while now: the music industry of 2012 is exactly where other industries don't want to end up. Especially the part that includes lawsuits against fans, mispriced content, endless infighting, and disastrous profit-plunges. “We could learn a lot from the music industry and the rather terrible ways they've tried to combat piracy..."

Free Jazz by Stef Gijssels
By Paul Acquaro Though I don't have the numbers on this, I'm fairly certain that there are more bass clarinets in the hands of jazz musicians then before.
