by Troy Dostert
After devoting a number of his recordings on the Playscape label to the songbooks of Thelonious Monk (Sphere Essence: Another Side of Monk, 2003), Billy Strayhorn (Satin Doll, 2017) and even Elvis Presley (Elvis Never Left the Building, 2014), pianist Peter Madsen has since sought out literary texts for inspiration. 2018 was a particularly fruitful year, ...

Tony Joe White: Bad Mouthin'
by Chris M. Slawecki
You might not recognize Tony Joe White by name but chances are you recognize his songs.

Appropriately, virtually all twelve tracks on this LP find the author of ...
At the Louisiana Hayride Tonight
by C. Michael Bailey
While not technically a “bundle," I am using my personal column to discuss the most important recorded music release of the past year, if not decade. Music, as we presently know it, would be very different had the Louisiana Hayride not existed. Uncharitably known as ..."the poor man's Grand Ole Opry," the Louisiana Hayride was anything ...
The Doors: The Singles
by Doug Collette
Naysayers carping about the voluminous reissues of the Doors catalog conveniently forget to consider neither label nor management would proceed on a title like The Singles if there wasn't sufficient confidence the market, in terms of new audiences alone wasn't there to support sales. And say what anyone will about how dubious is the concept of ...
Elvis Presley and The Tale Of Two Very Different Music Industries
Elvis is King! Or is he? As we commemorate 40 years since his death, how are Elvis and his fellow legacy artists fairing in the new music industry landscape as compared to their younger counterparts? Is YouTube for everyone, for example? And Spotify promises long tail revenue, but does that include Elvis and his peers? Guest post ...
L'ultimo hipster. La vita e la musica di Mark Murphy
by Angelo Leonardi
Non trovate accenni a Mark Murphy nelle più recenti storie del jazz, neanche il nome. Una lacuna che appare inspiegabile (a differenza di Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormè e Tony Bennett) che si giustifica solo col ritardo a collocare il cantante di Syracuse in una prospettiva storica. Eppure già prima della sua scomparsa -il ...
