The Grammy Awards: To Be or Not To Be?

Read "The Grammy Awards: To Be or Not To Be?" reviewed by Dom Minasi

by Dom Minasi

I very rarely watch award shows. I feel like the entertainment industry is constantly patting one another on the back. I don't understand the need to have so many of the same types of award shows. Artisans seem to have an irresistible need to be consistently told how wonderful they are and so very often. Why ...

Eddie Gomez: Per Sempre

Read "Per Sempre" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Bassist Eddie Gomez has never received the attention he deserves as a leader. While that's largely due to the fact that he spends so much time making other people sound better, the reason isn't important; it's an injustice, regardless of the cause. His pliant and flexible bass has been the binding agent and rhythmic-melodic-harmonic go-between responsible ...

Herbie Mann: An Amalgamation of Everything

Read "Herbie Mann:  An Amalgamation of Everything" reviewed by Bob Kenselaar

by Bob Kenselaar

[Flauist Herbie Mann was often ahead of the trend with his wide explorations into sounds from everywhere.
