The Unlikely Story of Cannonball Adderley's Rise to the Top
by Alan Bryson
For me, the most gripping music stories are the tales of “overnight sensations." In the jazz sphere, we have our share. There is the story of an eighteen-year-old Billie Holiday, discovered by producer John Hammond while she was a hostess in a Harlem club. There is the tale of a seventeen-year-old Ella Fitzgerald, whose triumphant debut ...
Bob Dylan: A Complete Unknown
by Doug Collette
Bob Dylan A Complete Unknown Searchlight Pictures2024 As with so many artistic efforts related to Bob Dylan, James Mangold's biopic A Complete Unknown may work best simply as the means to an end (and not just as inspiration to revisit the Nobel Prize winner's music). The film certainly benefits from ...

John Hammond Jr.: Bear's Sonic Journals: You're Doin' Fine - Blues at the Boarding House, June 2 & 3, 1973 (3CD)
by Doug Collette
John Hammond Jr. was perhaps the first white musician to gain some measure of recognition for his devotion to the blues. The offspring of the famed Columbia Records mogul never relied on his name or rested on his laurels. On the contrary, the son of the man who signed Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Bruce Springsteen ...

Radio broadcasts from his residency at New York's Cotton Club beginning in 1927 extended Ellington's ...

Not all reading this will know who Rory Block is, but in the households with fans of the rural blues, slide guitar and innovative women in music, to not know would be criminal. Born in Princeton, New Jersey, Block grew up ...

Harry was one of those great working musicians we heard about in the 1930s and through the 1950s who played jazz and dance band gigs interchangeably. These were the days of months long (if not longer) engagements musicians would ...
The Archive of Contemporary Music
by Karl Ackermann
In Lower Manhattan, sits a musical gold mine. It's the motherlode of recorded music though the small, brightly colored sign above a grey steel door provides only a cryptic clue. The dusty window display of rare 78 RPM records, broken into erratic pie charts serves as a vestige of the past and a cautionary tale about ...
