There's a Problem in San Francisco: Selfish Artists...
Yesterday, there was a room filled with community-oriented, music-loving people from San Francisco. It was about 30 or so in a corner at SF MusicTech Summit, trying to figure out how to cultivate a better local scene. This wasn't about monetization or maximizing service fees; it was really about music and the place they lived. And ...
What an Artist Really Gets Paid, Continued...
Every once in a while, an artist opens their books for the world to see. Like Uniform Motion, a group that just published a comprehensive breakdown of their album earnings (not revenues) across multiple formats. In most cases, the best way to compensate an artist is to buy direct, though Uniform Motion tossed a wildcard with ...
David Leonhardt's Piano and Band Play Cole Porter
Looking at the selection of 12 songs played by pianist David Leonhardt and his group on Plays Cole Porter (Big Bang BBR9584), you are immediately reminded of how central Porter's best songs have become in the standard jazz repertoire.

Count Basie and Frank Sinatra recorded three Reprise albums together—two studio dates in 1962 and 1964 plus a live recording at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas in 1966. The two studio dates are remarkable for how artfully and neatly both swingers folded together, resulting in powerful finger-popping magic. Now both Sinatra-Basie: An Historical Musical First ...
Nate Wooley / Scott R. Looney / Damon Smith / Weasel Walter - Scowl (Ugexplode, 2011) ****a1/2
By Paul Acquaro I wonder what would make music like 'Scowl' of interest to the 'lay' listener? I suppose this is a question that has been asked in varying ways many times before, and no doubt will continue to be asked as members enter and (dare I say?) leave the fold of avant-garde jazz. I don't ...
