Bob Schlesinger: Falling From Earth
by Joshua Weiner
Many a music project was derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, but Colorado-based pianist, composer, and educator Bob Schlesinger's Falling From Earth (Self-Produced, 2025) has had a longer gestation and more interesting rebirth than most.

A Jazz Reading List

From 2015 through 2020, a personal research project included my reading dozens of jazz books and related media.
