Keefe Jackson: Ready Everyday
by C. Michael Bailey
Fayetteville, Arkansas native Keefe Jackson left his Ozarks home and bobbed to the surface in Chicago in 2001.

Ellen Honert: Breath of the Soul
by C. Michael Bailey
Ellen Honert possesses a perfectly balanced alto voice that easily modulates between the many highs and lows she employs in her singing--and Breath of the Soul requires much of this from her. Softly Latin in overall character and instrumentation, this music provides a humid and languid blanket for Honert's sensual craft. In addition to her vocal ...

Jacques Loussier certainly applies his brand to such an approach, but he does so in an almost reverent, conservative manner. Caine throws the doors open and forces the old notes and time to reveal their decadent secrets. Whether his canvases are established works, like ...
Ike Turner: Risin' With The Blues
by C. Michael Bailey
Ike Turner received a Grammy® Award for Best Traditional Blues Recording for Risin' with the Blues. Long seen as the failed husband of Tina Turner, and vilified in her biography, I, Tina (1986) and the biopic movie What's Love got to Do with It (1993), Ike Turner is nevertheless one of the most important rock 'n' ...
Toph-E & the Pussycats: Live in Detroit
by C. Michael Bailey
Jazz is a schizophrenic music: it desires performance on the concert stage to a quiet, polite tuxedo and evening dress audience; at the same time, it seeks out a rowdy, drunk bar or festival crowd. Jazz has largely been able to cater to both populations successfully, but has certainly tended to the former extreme (at least ...
