Jim Manley: Brass Poison

Read "Brass Poison" reviewed by Nicholas F. Mondello


Mythology and its partners--history and literature--are replete with accounts of poisonings of all kinds; romantic, political, and those unfortunately accidental.

Jim Manley: Alter Ego

Read "Alter Ego" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Jim Manley is an impressive trumpeter (and pianist), as he proved on an earlier album, Splendor in the Brass, and his sidemen are no doubt talented musicians as well, but what they have conspired to produce on Alter Ego is surely aimed at a generation younger than my own, people who grew up listening to MTV, ...
