With the temperature plunging and the streets decked out in ice and snow, there were few better ways to warm up last weekend than heading to Blues Alley for some good, old-fashioned New Orleans jazz performed by revivalist Kermit Ruffins and his Barbecue Swingers.

William Parker: Solo Bass and Much More
by Erik R. Quick
There is an old jazz joke about a group of explorers being led through the jungle by a local guide. As the men march and tear through the overgrowth, the guide warns - “Always listen for the drums. When the drums stop - bad things follow." On day two, the group continues to hear the incessant ...

Bill Charlap in Albany, NY

by Erik R. Quick
