Girl Talk: Saxophonists Nicole Glover and Kirsten Edkins
by C. Michael Bailey
The universe of horn players ceased being a “boys club" about thirty years ago.

All Included: Satan In Plain Clothes
by John Sharpe

Chris Lightcap's Bigmouth: Epicenter
by Dave Wayne
Conceived as a continuous seven-part extended work for his band, Bigmouth, the first seven tracks on Chris Lightcap's Epicenter are as remarkable for their diversity as they are for the ways in which they're tied together.
