By Sean McKenzie As I watched the amazing lineup of jazz royalty remembering the true legend, Joe Sample, I had never been so moved by such a fitting musical tribute. I remember it was only a little over a year ago that Wayne Henderson had been given his regal sendoff. And now, amongst other Sample fans, I experienced a healing concert for yet another Jazz Crusader. Who was on the lineup? Musical director and pianist Bobby Lyle, who also assembled ...

Rifftides by Doug Ramsey
Following a long illness, Jackie Cain died Monday afternoon in her New Jersey home. She was 86. She and Roy Kral combined their talents in 1946. They incorporated the spirit of bebop in their work with Charlie Ventura’s sextet, capturing the public imagination with “East of Suez” and “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles.” Recorded with Ventura at a concert in Pasadena, California, in 1949, the records received widespread radio airplay in the days when that was still a route to jazz ...

Back in March, when I was interviewing artists for my Wall Street Journal “Anatomy of a Song" column on Rock the Boat, I called Joe Sample, who played keyboard and led the rhythm section on what is widely considered the fist pure disco single. Joe had just finished undergoing chemotherapy when I called, which had miraculously pushed his lung cancer into remission. Sadly, the treatment's positive effects didn't last. Joe died September 12. He was 75. Like many superb musicians ...

We're all well aware that Facebook lacks music functionality. Music WithMe is a music app, recently upgraded, that seeks to circumvent this situation. Trouble is that Music WithMe does a terrible job at it. If you don't use iTunes, the app is useless. If you haven't yet downloaded the song that you desire to share, the app is useless. Most of all, why in the world would I ever want my friends—which by the way, I would have to spam ...
