Bob Dylan: The Bard Of Jazz

by Dan Bilawsky
September 24, 2010

Jazz and rock audiences, at their core, often expect two very different things when they attend a live performance. Jazz audiences thrive on the journey and in-the-moment magic that's created as a one-time-only occurrence, through a partially improvised art.

January 27, 2010

Un Bob Dylan talmente different, da risultare trasfigurato.

January 11, 2010
