All About Jazz
“Soul Glide” is the single from Tony Adamo’s upcoming album of the same name, and by the sound of it, you might not need your ears as much as dancing shoes to appreciate. Adamo delivers lyrics in a style that would make Soul Train’s Don Cornelius smile, and which back in the day would make people line up to try out their latest dance steps. The funkified team of Mike Clark/dr, Richie Goods/b, Rob Sudduth/ts, Chris Pimentel/g and John McKay/org ...

Something Else!
By Matt Reynolds The year was 1966, and the Beach Boys were riding a wave of energy across the musical landscape of the times. The Hawthorne, California quintet's sound was evolving into one of the most respected and unique in the industry after the release earlier that year of its now profoundly important album Pet Sounds. In a few short years, the Beach Boys had transformed from a pop band with catchy harmonies and songs about surfing, cars and teen-love, ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Last week I traveled to Los Angeles to spend time with Brian Wilson at his home in Beverly Hills. My interview with Brian is in today's Wall Street Journal (pick up a copy or go here if you're a subscriber).

What many jazz fans may not realize ...

The Story Behind the Smile: Terry Teachout's "Pops"

Riffs on Jazz by John Anderson
I just finished reading Terry Teachout's biography of Louis Armstrong, Pops, which is now out in paperback, and can recommend it wholeheartedly. Teachout, the drama critic of the Wall Street Journal, had access to a lot of previously unavailable material on Armstrong, including over 650 reels of tape recordings made by “Satchmo" during the last two decades of his life. This provides a very intimate and fascinating look at the man behind the very public persona: his dope smoking, his ...
