Dave Gold: Heaven On Their Minds
by Bruce Lindsay
Dave Gold may not have the big-name bandleader or arranger status of Buddy Rich or Nelson Riddle, but Heaven On Their Minds shows that his own talents, and those of his Big Band compatriots, are no less for this lack of recognition.

Nat King Cole Trio: Swiss Radio Days, Vol. 43 - Zurich 1950
by Dan Bilawsky
Nat King Cole means two very different things to two different segments of the music-loving populace today. To those simply plugged into popular culture he's the golden-voiced baritone crooner, debonair and delightful as can be while travelling over the airwaves.
