Duke Ellington Jazz Fest 2008: The Evolution of a Jazz Festival
by Franz A. Matzner
Appearances can be deceiving. On the surface, the 2008 Duke Ellington Jazz Festiva looked very much like its predecessors, relying on familiar names and a thorough leveraging of Washington's local acts to form the core of its line-up.

Total Music Meeting 2008
by Celeste Sunderland
English bassist John Edward's instrument is by no means pristine.

He stood on the stage in the auditorium of the Berlinische Galerie one night last month with his bass, two separate ...

Una manifestazione che, sia pure con fatica (budget limitati, ...
