Pippa Hayes: It Had to Be You
by C. Michael Bailey
Australian vocalist Pippa Hayes is foremost an educator, but that old saw about “those who can...do and those who can't...teach" does not apply. Hayes is perfectly comfortable performing, with an infectious method and effortless grace. She has a coy and coquettish voice, lazy and sensual as Quaaludes and honey (in places, almost too much so). However, ...
Yotam: Brasil
by Dan Bilawsky
A single letter separates the English and Portuguese spellings of the world's fifth largest country, but that letter distinguishes between an outsider's view and the way that an insider takes it all in.

Countless others have become ambassadors who spread the wonders of Brazil through their music, and nobody is more qualified to ...
