by R.J. DeLuke
What does it take for someone who has been singing since she was a toddler--and had her sights set singing as a vocation since in elementary school--to make a strong go of it?

Guitarist Alex Machacek Interviewed at AAJ...And More!
Be careful what you wish for, for you may get it--so the saying goes.

Pianist Fred Hersch Survives Coma to Write a New Chapter to His Jazz Career
Even though it was Sunday, the Village Vanguard was packed to catch the last night of pianist Fred Hersch's weeklong run.
