by Chris May

Among the general jazz audience, the musicians were lumped together as a horde of crazed zombies who lacked all technique, and who had replaced ...

Samuel Blaser: As the Sea
by John Kelman
Plenty has been written about musical camaraderie--the building of long-term musical relationships and their unmistakable impact on the evolution of a group.
