Leslie Pintchik: We're Here to Listen

Read "We're Here to Listen" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

Her technique is flawless, and she has a natural tendency for irony, and even humor, as she simply spreads her hands on the keyboards and ...

Curtis Mayfield: After the Rain

Read "Curtis Mayfield: After the Rain" reviewed by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.

by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.

Throughout the passageways of my youth, perhaps no other voice was as critically important. When I questioned my own existence in a predominantly white school and community, it was his voice and music that carried me through. During my saddest and most vulnerable moments, he filled me with hope and the strength to face another day. ...
