Alyssa Allgood: Out Of The Blue
by Mark Sullivan
Chicago vocalist Alyssa Allgood devotes her first full length album to an unexpected source: the classic hard bop repertoire of Blue Note Records. The label is mainly known for instrumental jazz, and all of these selections were originally instrumental. This presents no problem for Allgood, who demonstrates equal facility scatting, singing wordless vocalise, and writing lyrics ...
Meet Francesca "Cha Cha" Miano
by Tessa Souter and Andrea Wolper
A Newport Jazz Festival-New York concert at Carnegie Hall in the early 1970s got Queens native Francesca “Cha Cha" Miano hooked on hearing live jazz--even though, she says, some of the music she heard on the mixed bill that night was way ahead of her at the time.

Kevin Mahogany: The Vienna Affair
by Angelo Leonardi
Il numero dei cantanti jazz di sesso maschile è sempre stato esiguo rispetto al preponderante universo femminile, oggi più che mai.
