Read "Krantz / Carlock / Lefebvre: Touching The Stars" reviewed by Mike Jacobs

by Mike Jacobs

Read "There Is A Dance" reviewed by Patrick Burnette

Mac Gollehon: The End is the Beginning

Read "The End is the Beginning" reviewed by John Pietaro

by John Pietaro

From the opening moments of “As Your World Burns," Mac Gollehon's music embraces not simply the underground, but the underside. This collection of fleeting, gripping brass and dense atmosphere amounts to the lost score for the '70s-'80s noir film we've longed for, as nasty in its perfection as was the Manhattan of those years. Gollehon's trumpet ...
