A Conversation About P2P Marketing with Frostclick
File-sharing is the antithesis of big business. In everything from form (decentralized structure, minimal operation and upkeep costs) to function (duh), P2P networks and torrent hubs are diametrically opposed to the large corporate structures that define the entertainment and broadcast industries, and its proponents are proud of that.

by Gordon Marshall
However cool the surface of his music, Kevin Frenette is not content to serve up any sort of “easy listening."

Some themes ...
Latin Jazz Conversations: Hilario Duran (Part 4)
A strong Latin Jazz bandleader carries a specific set of tools that guide them through their multiple responsibilities; the best bandleaders make these skills look natural, but they are actually learned over time. Any good leader spends years, and sometimes decades, as a sideman behind multiple artists. They work hard, watch the masters, learn the necessary ...
