America's Been Tough On Jazz
by Eric Pettine
In America, he's his own man—he's got to be—no corporation seeks him out or needs him. Her attitude and attire doesn't always “cut it" with the latest vogue.

Jim Hall: Magic Meeting
by John Kelman
Some artists use an onslaught of sound to envelope the listener; others use quiet to draw them in. It's interesting how even in a conventionally noisy club, when a compelling artist plays at a low level the audience seems to naturally quieten down, sitting on the edges of the seats and leaning forward to better hear ...
