Karen Lane Organ Project: Two Steps from the Blues
by Geno Thackara
From intimate singer-songwriter crooning to bossa nova, Karen Lane and her versatile voice have graced many a stage in quite different contexts. The blues have always been an ingredient in there as well--albeit an infrequent one usually represented by the occasional encore--so it was probably inevitable that this facet of her personality would get its own ...
Danny Mixon: Pass It On
by Chris M. Slawecki
You'd think that a pianist who's solidly served as sideman for such pillars of the jazz community as Charles Mingus, Betty Carter, Kenny Dorham, Grant Green and others (including Afro-Cuban firebrands Pucho & His Latin Soul Brothers), would be at least somewhat famous.
