Eli Yamin and Evan Christopher: Louie's Dream: For Our Jazz Heroes
by Dan Bilawsky
Hero worship has long been a magnetic force that helps to draw in the next generation of musicians, yet this very concept is often pooh-poohed by a segment of the musical and artistic community. These people feel that new is always better, and that originality can't thrive if artists acknowledge their forefathers and wear their influences ...

Grand General: Grand General
by John Kelman
Despite many members barely into their thirties, Grand General is a Norwegian super group of sorts.

Guitarist ...
