Rifftides by Doug Ramsey
Recent Listening In Brief: Linda May Han Oh, Aventurine (Biophilia) The album title, aptly, seems to suggest adventure. Indeed, the CD contains plenty of that attribute in the bassist-composer’s instrumentation, textures and rhythmic values.

This month's Westchester neighbor profiles a trombonist and dancer from Bedford Hills who’ve seen it all. In 1987, 28-year-old Broadway starlet Linda Sabatelli was enjoying a relaxing dinner out with the cast of 42nd Street when she caught the eye of Gerard Carelli.

The first was for Verve in September 1957, on an LP that featured other vocalists called Songs for Your Boyfriend, arranged by ...

This relatively unknown 52 year old singer/songwriter received a Grammy nomination in Americana with almost indiscernible record sales and mostly limited YouTube views. How did she do it? She networked on GRAMMY365. Linda Chorney has a modest social footprint with just over 2000 fans on Facebook and only one ...
