Dave Tull: texting and driving
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Wallflower. The word has zero application to describe jazz drummer, vocalist and composer/arranger/producer, Dave Tull.

It might just be what's needed for a long, endless drive ...

Mark Winkler: The Company I Keep
by C. Michael Bailey
The utility of music, at its very core, is entertainment. It is not all about dissonance and consonance, tonal conflict and resolution; heart and intellect, pathos and ethos.

Ira Hill: Tomorrow
by Dan Bilawsky
Ira Hill. Remember that name, for you're likely to see it in print a lot more in the future.

His debonair delivery, sure-voiced scatting, and all-around taste belie his years. And the ...
