Misha Piatigorsky: 17 Rooms

Taking The Chill Out Of Autumn: Arturo O'Farrill, Mario Adnet and Somi

Northerners adopt the fluffy-tailed creature's autumnal regimen in preparation for the harsh months ahead.For those ...

by Mark Corroto
With his 2009 Grammy award in hand, pianist Arturo O'Farrill can finally step out from the very long shadow cast by his father, Afro-Cuban band leader Chico O'Farrill.

George Colligan: Come Together
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Mathematically, it would be well nigh impossible to count the multitude of sensory organs and multiplicity of fingers (and thumbs) at work in pianist George Colligan on Come Together. Sometimes they work in unison, while at other times quite independent of each other, to produce daring polytonality. In a voice as charismatic as an evangelist at ...
