Basing his debut suite, Excerpts From An Online Dating Service, on real Internet personal ads collected from cities all over United States and Canada, Urie attempts to transform these coded messages into poetic statements about the current human condition. This is implied by poet and ...
Bobby Previte: Pan Atlantic
by A. Henkin
The “mashup," the blending of two or more songs to create a new work, has steadily gained popularity over the last decade.

A Cool World Christmas: Carla Bley, Trio West and Wynton Marsalis
by C. Michael Bailey
It is easy to be cynical about holiday music. On the mainstream popular music front, these releases are often nakedly commercial, marketed with a fixed (and very large) target population in mind. And a good many of such recordings are truly bad. In the run up to Christmas 2009, the marketplace is clotted with a legion ...
