Frank Hewitt: Fresh from the Cooler
by Christopher Shoe
There are few things in this world that the jazz lover can compare to that of hearing a live performance. There is a type of audience participation that is lacking when he sits at home and listens to the album. Perhaps he even finds himself wondering what it would be like to be left alone with ...

The Frank Hewitt Quintet: Four Hundred Saturdays
by Eric J. Iannelli
Prufrock measured out his life in coffee spoons.

Such was the way of life for ...
Big on Smalls
by Eric J. Iannelli

Like so many of the peculiar ordinances that persist on the books all over the U.S. – take, for instance, the Alabama legislation declaring it illegal to wear a fake ...
