Nicole Zuraitis & Dan Pugach: When Jazz Is Like Love

Gregory Golub
I first hear Nicole Zuraitis dabout three years ago and I was immediately drawn in by the power and charm of her voice. The richness of overtones in her timbre quite literally caresses the ear—even an experienced listener like me—a jazz musician and composer with a few decades in music. This was before her ascent into what you might call the “Olympus” of American music—even though the nominations were already there. You could still clearly feel that she was searching ...

In 1991, Dan Beck became Michael Jackson’s main marketing contact at Epic Records. For five rollercoaster years, he was immersed in a world of unequalled stardom, dealing with the outsized ambition, whims and idiosyncrasies of the world’s most famous entertainer. It was a pivotal point in Jackson’s career. His last album had failed to repeat the record-shattering success of Thriller. Rumors about his personal life and his eccentricities had made him the subject of gossip and accusations. Tabloids had begun ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Dan Morgenstern, an eight-time Grammy winner for his album liner notes, the former director of Rutgers University's Institute of Jazz Studies, author and a “jazz advocate," as he liked to be called, died on September 7. He was 94. Despite all of those titles, Dan was the music's most well-regarded historian and paternal figure among writers and critics. But despite his seniority and in-depth, first-hand knowledge of post-war jazz, he never lost his wit, passion or ability to put jazz's ...
