Jon Crowley: I Walk Amongst Humans

Read "I Walk Amongst Humans" reviewed by Nicholas F. Mondello


There are recordings that seem to be made for the practice of looking out a window on a rainy day. “I Walk Amongst the Humans" by trumpeter Jon Crowley accurately fits that bill.

No Future Without New Fans

Read "No Future Without New Fans" reviewed by John Beaty

Read "The State of Jazz Education" reviewed by John Beaty


For my entire childhood, up through the moment I graduated high school, I was told of the importance of the SAT Reasoning Tests and attending college.
