Robert Glasper: Black Radio 2
On Tuesday night I went to see Robert Glasper perform with the Robert Glasper Experiment at New York's Best Buy Theater. I feel as though I saw the contemporary equivalent of Benny Goodman's 1938 Carnegie Hall concert. If jazz-R&B winds up having a defining moment, it was last night. The theater, which holds 2,000, was filled ...

Hod O'Brien: Exceptional Piano

What makes an exceptional jazz pianist? Swing, confidence, tasteful voicings and inventive lines. Swing, meaning an impeccable sense of time that allows the player to ...
Ryan Holiday on Traditional Marketing, Growth Hacking and Music
Inspired, in part by Ryan Holiday's new book “Growth Hacker Marketing“, I recently introduced some ideas about growth hacker marketing for musicians. I then spoke with Holiday about how his ideas apply to musicians including Alex Day with whom he has worked. Growth Hacker Marketing focuses quite a bit on a binary of new and old approaches ...
Videos: Double Six of Paris
I was conceived in Paris and born in New York. My artist parents were living in France from 1952 to 1956 when my mother decided they should return to the States so I could be delivered in New York. So they rushed back on the S.S. United States and here I am. The point of all ...
Lou Reed (1942-2013)
Lou Reed, whose brutish pop-minimalist songs and flat vocals reflected his painful search for identity and helped influence art-rock, glam, punk, metal, New Wave and grunge, died unexpectedly yesterday (Oct. 27). He had undergone a liver transplant in June. He was 71. The news came as a particular shock to me, as I was preparing to ...
