John Hollenbeck Large Ensemble: A Blessing
by John Kelman
One clear benefit of the global community we live in, with its inherently broad reach, is that many artists have developed into stylistic integrators.

He's also been a ...

Lenny Breau: Swingin' on a Seven-String
by John Kelman
While guitarist Lenny Breau's innovations may not seem so significant now, he was like a bolt of lightning when he emerged in the '70s out of Manitoba, Canada. A true self-accompanist who integrated virtuosic skills in jazz, country, and flamenco into an unmistakable voice, Breau made his guitar sound like an ensemble. Legend has it that ...
