Read "Je Te Connais" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

by C. Michael Bailey

Munich borne Silvie Rider moved to her husband's (Red Young) home of Austin, Texas and recorded a half-Anglophone/half-Francophone album.

Allison Miller: Breaking Ground

Read "Allison Miller: Breaking Ground" reviewed by Franz A. Matzner

by Franz A. Matzner

It takes a rare individual to excel in multiple artistic genres, particularly when success unfolds in the public spotlight and presents very different contexts.

Read "Commitment" reviewed by Chris Mosey

This is that exceedingly rare item: a Finnish jazz record intended for the wider world. Ever since 1926, when the SS Andania famously put into Helsinki harbor with its “hot" band, The Andania Yankees, jazz has been part of musical life in this small country on the outer fringes of Europe. However, local jazzers, it must ...
