by John Kelman
DS#001-013 | DS#014-017One of the biggest problems facing contemporary jazz musicians is that they often have far more projects on the go than could ever be recorded and released commercially by conventional record labels--even small and relatively responsive indie labels. Special projects abound, or personnel changes for a tour are forced when members of ...
Scott Healy-Glenn Alexander Quartet: Northern Light
by Dan Bilawsky
In today's fast-paced world, there's a tendency to try to write, record and release music in quick succession, but that's not always the best method. Sometimes, recorded music sounds best when it's had the chance to marinate and soak up the diverse flavors of time. Such is the case with the unintentional decades-long gap between the ...
