Let's Party: Anthony Wilson Trio, Joel Frahm & Bruce Katz, James Carter et al.
by J Hunter
Just because summer is long gone doesn't mean the other three seasons have to be a marathon of dreariness. The calendar's got plenty of reasons to party--Christmas, New Year's Eve, or (for college students) the odd Tuesday that needs freshening up.

By Timothy J. O'Keefe The Blues may have been spawned within the African-American communities of the Deep South in the late 19th century, but its influence still permeates our society today.

Dan Moretti: Tres Muse
by Glenn Astarita
Northeast area saxophonist and Berklee School of Music educator Dan Moretti embarks on the piano-less jazz trio route, hearkening back to the impetus set forth by Sonny Rollins' 1957 Riverside classic, Way Out West.
