Mats Persson plays Cajon, Pandeiro, Caxixi, and others. Johan Adelstål- song title illustration. Produced by EB ...

Drummer Eddie Metz Jr. brought his mighty International Trio plus tenor saxophonist Harry Allen to Sarasota FL to provide a musical balm to Inauguration Day on Thursday, January 20. “We're glad your here rather than at home cheering or yelling at the TV," Metz said at the outset. “We don't care what side you're on— because this is the universal language of music." This trio truly is international in scope, teaming American Metz with Australian bassist-singer Nicki Parrott and Italian ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Yesterday's Super Bowl was amazing—perhaps the most astonishing finish in NFL history. But the halftime show was a bit of a disappointment. A little too playful and silly for me, and not nearly enough intensity or drama. Which reminded me that in the beginning, the Super Bowl halftime show was a modest jazzy affair. The turning point came in 1993 during a halftime show that would change the event forever. The first Super Bowl halftime in 1967 at the Los ...

New Michael Stosic Album Recalls Hall & Oates With Added Jazzy Touches

Eric Taylor
In these days of frivolous studio hooks, the lyrics are in danger of becoming a lost art. The best pop music tells a story, often utilizing the universal language of love. Singer/songwriter Michael Stosic is well aware of this, producing a smoothly crafted Adult Contemporary effort, a self-titled album that borrows liberally from ‘70s and ‘80s soul and R&B, jazz, and soft rock. Hall & Oates may have ironically become the toast of the indie scene of late, but it’s ...

Much focus will be given this summer to this August’s arrival of the 60th anniversary edition of the Newport Jazz Festival (not the 60th festival mind you, just the fact that it’s been 60 years since the very first festival was held in Newport back in 1954). As mentioned in prior postings, this will be the 50th edition of the George Wein-produced festival to be held in Newport. But there is another very admirable anniversary taking place 12 days earlier ...
