Tom Wopat: I've Got Your Number
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
In recent years, there's been a cottage industry of celebrities from rock, pop, country and television who wander into the American Songbook in the sunset of their careers and try to put out “jazz" albums. This CD is a welcome exception. While Tom Wopat may be best-loved for playing “Luke Duke" on the Dukes of Hazzard ...

by John Kelman
If the history books were to be closed on singer/songwriter Paul Simon's career today, he'd have already left a legacy more than sufficient to ensure a substantial chapter.

Joe Locke: Lay Down My Heart: Blues & Ballads Vol.1
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
The successful combination of two chordal instruments--like vibes and piano--requires giant ears and mutual respect in order to avoid melodic pile-ups and harmonic collisions. On this CD, vibraphonist and composer Joe Locke and pianist Ryan Cohan provide a textbook example of how this is done. They are happily aided and abetted by bassist and co-producer David ...

Joe Locke: Lay Down My Heart: Blues & Ballads Vol.1
by Dan Bilawsky

Now, ...
Roger Davidson Trio: We Remember Helen
by Dan Bilawsky
The music business holds claim to more than its share of selfish, self-promoting, greedy individuals who built their fortunes on the backs of others but, within its ranks also exist a certain class of individual that truly looks out for the best interests of the music and the people who make it. Helen Keane, by all ...
