Chris McCarthy: Still Time to Quit

Read "Still Time to Quit" reviewed by Friedrich Kunzmann


Only two minutes into “That's All You Get," the opening track to pianist Chris McCarthy's debut recording for Ropeadope Records, Still Time To Quit, and already it seems that everything that had to be said was said. Maybe that's why at this point the track coincidentally also reaches its end. A savage yet controlled display of friction and constant motion.

Vocalist Kim Maguire Releases 'A Case Of You'

Source: Kim Maguire

As a girl, Kim spent hours at the piano in her parents’ basement, playing and singing through the agony and ecstasy of what it was to be a gauche teenager with not a lot of social skills, and definitely not a lot of attention from “the right” kind of boy. It was the early 1970’s and she had five songbooks: Carly Simon, Jackson Browne, Joni Mitchell, Roberta Flack and Elton John. A perfect stomping ground for teen angst—and the best ...

Who Were the Kim Loo Sisters?

Who Were the Kim Loo Sisters?

Source: JazzWax by Marc Myers

The Andrews Sisters were from Minneapolis. So were the Kim Loo Sisters (above). In all probability, you've heard of the former but not the latter. For every headliner in the late 1930s and '40s, there were dozens if not hundreds of artists who didn't become huge. Reasons vary, ranging from bad breaks or lacking that little something extra. In the case of the Kim Loo Sisters, that variable was less about talent and charm (wait until you see the following ...
