Dave Pietro: New Road: Iowa Memoirs
by Jack Bowers
In 2011, New York City-based saxophonist Dave Pietro was invited to spend three weeks as artist-in-residence at the University of Iowa.

It proved to be a rewarding commission for the native New Englander who was so enheartened that he chose to recreate the ...
John Proulx: Say It
by Nicholas F. Mondello
The first thing one might ask encountering this album is “OK, how do you say Proulx?" It's pronounced “Proo," with a silent l and x.

Dave Pietro: New Road: Iowa Memoirs
by Dan Bilawsky
In essence, New Road: Iowa Memoirs is the story of an urbanite's awakening to the rural lure. But to state this album's meaning in such reductive terms is to minimize its power and undercut the very beauty that inspired its creation in the first place. Back in 2011 and 2012, The University of ...
