The fusion of waspish keyboards and funkadelic bass that saxophonist Ronnie Laws surfed to crossover success came close to that dangerous point, but on his best recordings and especially in live performance he could conjure soulful licks and trenchant lines with the enterprise and power of the best soul singers. This gig twinned him with trumpeter Tom Browne—his “Funkin' for Jamaica" is ...

Something Else!
By PicoRock stars whose dad jammed with Django Reinhardt when said rock star was an infant, and dated Nico not long after after high school deserve my eternal respect and admiration, but as far as I know, only Jackson Browne falls into that category. It was only years later when he begun to make his own records and those first three (Jackson Browne, For Everyman and Late For The Sky) are generally regarded as his best. But I ...
