John Jorgenson Quintet makes debut tour to Alaska The high-energy gypsy jazz performed by the John Jorgenson Quintet isn't your typical jazz music. “A lot of people tell us 'Well, we don't really like jazz so much but we like your music,'" Jorgenson said. “It's more accessible. The jazz part of it kind of scares people off but it's actually more accessible than that." Jorgenson is known as one of the American pioneers of gypsy jazz, a melting-pot style of ...

Nellie McKay :: 08.07.08 :: Stubb's BBQ :: Austin, TX

Nellie McKay :: 08.07 :: Austin, TX The brazen Nellie McKay that released Get Away From Me in 2004 doesn't seem to be going through a mid-twenties mellow-out phase. Her amusing stage banter about being undecided in who to vote for, the Austin bats and her half-joking relief that no one was eating BBQ in front of her (she's veggie), shows she's still packing politics dosed with wry humor ...

Soulive & Lettuce :: 09.05.08 :: Highline Ballroom :: New York, NY

Soulive/Lettuce :: 09.05 :: NYC Live music, in all its glorious forms, can prompt a slew of reactions, at times consuming the listener and forcing them to succumb to the artist's intentions, willingly or not. When it comes to Soulive and their sibling-band Lettuce, who shared the bill at the Royal Family Ball, the inclination brought about by their amped-up ...

Calexico's School of Philosophy

By: Sarah Hagerman

Convertino & Burns - Calexico Considering the myriad of musical projects that surround him, Calexico's Joey Burns (guitar) sounds infinitely relaxed on the phone from Tucson. He draws out his sentences in a leisurely but extremely thoughtful manner. So much so that a couple times I begin asking another question, thinking he has finished, and almost talk over him, punctuating his thoughts. My journalistic faux pas doesn't seem to bother him. Even ...
