Rory Gallagher: Crest of A Wave: The Best of Rory Gallagher
by Doug Collette
Even a died-in-the-wool Rory Gallagher aficionado may wonder if there is really a need for another anthology of the man's work. But the late Irish blues-rocker never did get the attention he deserved and remains an unsung hero of the blues-rock genre even to this day.

Beantown Sings the Blues
By Timothy J. O'Keefe The Blues may have been spawned within the African-American communities of the Deep South in the late 19th century, but its influence still permeates our society today.

by Chris May

Brett Favre Isn't The Only Comeback Kid
by Jack Bowers
The ink was barely dry on last month's report that trumpeter Rob Parton had decided to break up his superlative Chicago-based JazzTech Big Band after more than twenty years at the helm before Parton was back with a brand new ensemble, one whose purpose, he says, “is to mirror that of the European Radio Orchestras where ...
Aaron Akins: Thinking Love
by Esther Berlanga-Ryan
Aaron Akins' music is something out of the ordinary. After all, a certain reminiscence of the voice of Nat “King" Cole wrapped up in the arms of a sophisticated Urban beat is not something heard every day. Jazz is an alive music. Its rawness leaves an open door for pure artistry to grow and ...
