Guitarist Kenny Burrell Interviewed at All About Jazz!

February 6, 2012

Kenny Burrell has appeared on so many essential jazz recordings that jazz history and his story seem irretrievably intertwined.

Kenny Burrell played guitar for them all. Even Jimi ...

Interview: Roberta Flack

February 3, 2012

You haven't lived until you hear Roberta Flack sing Feel Like Makin' Love over the phone. Her folk-soul voice is still so warm and rich. In today's Wall Street Journal (go here), I write about Roberta's new Beatles album, Let It Be Roberta. This CD isn't your typical pop-tribute album.

Danilo Perez: Cultural Ambassador and Music Humanitarian

February 1, 2012

I have no idea who adjudicates the MacArthur Foundation's annual Fellowships, aka the “Genius" awards, but if you do... please recommend an eminently worthy candidate: pianist-composer-educator Danilo Perez. What Danilo has done in his native Panama in the name of music education for disadvantaged children is nothing short of miraculous. And that doesn't even take into ...

Interview: Arno Marsh (Part 2)

January 27, 2012

On the phone, Arno Marsh sounds the way he plays. There's a smoothness to his voice, and the cadence of his words swings. Swinging, in general, is a lost art. Those who came up in the '40s and '50s have a real knack for it. When they start blowing,they slip right into the groove, with that ...
