JazzWax by Marc Myers
I love producers and performers who fall madly in love with legacy jazz artists and go the distance to pay tribute to them. I'm thinking of what producer-director Kristian St. Clair did with his 2006 documentary and album This Is Gary McFarland and what jazz historian and album producer Gary Carner did in 2012 with baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams by compiling Joy Road: The Complete Works of Pepper Adams (Motema).

A message from Katherine Kostoff: Good friends and kind strangers, I'm delighted to announce that my album It Happens Like That is now available on all streaming platforms.

I haven't exactly counted my ratio but I can tell you that I have allowed only my “good songs" to make it to this collection. I hope that you'll agree. Writing ...
