Take Five: Geoff Lapp
If you were to spend just a bit of time poking around geofflapp.com, you might think that the Montreal pianist was one of these 20-something musicians who is new to the scene but has plenty of Web mojo. His site links to his Facebook and Twitter accounts and indeed, via song.ly, he tried this year to ...

Ubiquitous Bassist Christian McBride Interviewed at AAJ
Christian McBride has, over the course of the past two decades, emerged as one of jazz's leading bassists, equally comfortable in the fusion territory of his recent tour with Chick Corea and John McLaughlin's Five Peace Band as he is a more straight-ahead session, like his own new release, Kind of Brown (Mack Avenue,. 2009). He's ...
Jazz Don't Hurt: Dr. Flugel, or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Chuck Mangione
The first album I ever bought with my own money (earned, I think, by babysitting for one of the neighborhood kids) was a two-cassette version of Chuck Mangione's 1978 concert recording An Evening Of Magic: Live At The Hollywood Bowl.
