Charlie Dennard: From Brazil To New Orleans
by Dan Bilawsky
Thousands of miles separate Brazil and New Orleans, but pianist/composer Charlie Dennard thinks these two locales are a lot closer than that. This album is his way of showing that.

Carol Fredette: No Sad Songs For Me
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
The fact that Carol Fredette's CD is going to be a rare treat is suggested by its very first track, the lesser-known Cole Porter gem, “I Am in Love."
