Christian Howes: Blues for the Blues Violin
by Ian Patterson

JJ Grey and Mofro: True Warhorses
By Dennis Cook Maybe it's pounding soul of “All," the slinky strut of “Diyo Dayo," the synth-dappled, switchback funk of “Hide & Seek" or perhaps the crack-your-heart-open tenderness of “King Hummingbird," but something gonna get you on JJ Grey & Mofro's new slab, Georgia Warhorse (released August 24 on Alligator Records). Grey and his shifting ensemble ...

A 1977 Interview with Jaco Pastorius: The Florida Flash
By Neil Tesser (Downbeat, January 27, 1977) “There's a real rhythm in Florida," Jaco Pastorius says in a voice saturated in matter-of-fact. “Because of the ocean.

Liberace, Las Vegas and Me
On Friday, at the crack of dawn, I was on a Delta flight from New York to Las Vegas. The Liberace Museum had just announced it was closing in October, and I was on assignment for the Wall Street Journal. Mind you, I have never been a fan of Liberace's music. I didn't dislike him when ...
