Patrick Brennan: Rhythms of Passion
by Ludwig vanTrikt

Chick Corea: Creative Giant
by Esther Berlanga-Ryan

Matt Renzi: Happy Hour
by Dan McClenaghan
Reedman Matt Renzi's Happy Hour is curiously titled, given the music at hand. A “Happy Hour" brings cheap drinks and cacophonous good times in the bar room to mind.
