Bob Ross: Arriving
by Dan Bilawsky
Arriving, while low-key in many ways, is something of a signal flare, sending out notice of an on-the-rise leader located in Ohio. Newcomer guitarist Bob Ross graduated from Morehead State University with a Bachelor of Music in 2008 and completed his Master's degree in Jazz Studies at The University Of The Arts in 2010. A year ...

Ralph Peterson: Music Teaches You Life
by George Colligan
[Editor's Note: The following interview is reprinted from George Colligan's blog, Jazztruth] I was recently in Athens, as part of my tour with Jack DeJohnette. Shortly after arriving, I'm sitting in my hotel room, and I get an unexpected call. “Colligan!" “Uh...yes?" And then I hear one of my obscure compositions, “Reaction," being sung ...

Intrepid jazz entrepreneur Rocco Somazzi ...
