The Lead Sheet
It's May, so “it might as well be spring" although Mother Nature seems unable to commit. It's much easier to commit to supporting live jazz, and there are plenty of opportunities in the coming week, from Bill Carrothers' return to the Artists Quarter with the old After Hours Trio to birthday cake with Charmin Michelle at ...
Jazz Face: The Beautiful Dreams of Bill Frisell
I actually walked out of a Bill Frisell concert (at the Walker) once upon a time. It was just too outside for me. Not sure but I suspect I would stick around if the same music presented itself now. I've enjoyed everything I've heard from the eclectic guitarist ever since, from a quartet with cellist Hank ...
Do We Expect Too Much from Music Listeners?
By Kyle Bylin (@sidewinderfm), founder and editor of sidewinder.fm, a music and tech think tank. I often wonder if the music industry expects too much of music listeners.

Documentary: Paul Horn
Don't know much about Paul Horn? The 83-year-old flutist and saxophonist was a pioneer of mystical or New Age jazz in the late 1960s and beyond.

Billy Verplanck: A Joyous Life
The late trombonist-arranger Billy VerPlanck isn't particularly well known to jazz fans today—but he should be. Throughout his career, from the late 1940s to 2009, Billy had a delicate, swinging touch when writing for bands—more harmonic interplay and seduction than sheer bombast and section muscle. VerPlanck's real first name was John; he named himself Billy after ...
Direct-to-Fan Holds Much Promise, Many Problems
By Kyle Bylin (@sidewinderfm), founder and editor of sidewinder.fm, a music and tech think tank. The notion of artists selling music directly to their fans holds a powerful allure. Why pay to distribute your music to iTunes and Amazon if you can set up your own online storefront? You keep a higher percentage of the sales revenue ...
