Chuck Loeb: Between 2 Worlds
by Jeff Winbush
While no one was looking, Chuck Loeb was quietly becoming one of the most interesting guitarists making music today.

Ben Webster: Centennial Celebration
by Martin Gladu
Remembered for his seminal solos on such classics as “Cotton Tail" and “All Too Soon" as much as for his historic clashes with boss Duke Ellington, hot-tempered saxophonist Ben Webster's legacy truly stands the test of time.

Julian Lage: Stepping Into the Limelight
by R.J. DeLuke
A documentary film made in 1996 centers on an eight year-old guitarist who is already a professional and how he mixes that life with everything else, like family and being a kid. At one point, he's shown playing the guitar behind his neck, a la Jimi Hendrix, adroitly picking a melodic line. At another, he lays ...
