Elton John and Billy Joel in Concert
Saturday night's alright for the piano men, who gave fans a three- hour show full of hits. Partnerships between pop superstars usually deliver less than the sum of their talents. Nostalgia isn't always enough, but a surprising collaboration between Elton John and Billy Joel, who play nothing more than their best-known hits from the '70s and ...
Tonight: Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman in Conversation at USC
One of the coolest things about L.A.'s pop life is the presence of everyday demigods, everywhere. So many key contributors to contemporary music's canon hang out at the local Coffee Bean or have their kids in your preschool. Count Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman among my favorites -- goddesses with no pretense and unflagging energy. Best ...

Musical Cline Twins March to Different Beats
Drummer Alex and guitarist Nels grew up as jazz hounds around L.A., yet they ended up taking parallel but divergent paths. For a pair of identical twins, it's surprisingly easy to tell Nels and Alex Cline apart. Dressed in a T-shirt and dark, slim-cut jeans, spiky-haired Nels Cline looks the part of distinguished “guitar god," even ...
The Jazz Odyssey of Jack Sheldon
The unheralded trumpeter makes a compelling centerpiece for the documentary. Music elite and bebop fans widely consider him the greatest living jazz trumpeter. Though commonly recognized by many from his longtime stint as Merv Griffin's comedic sidekick on The Merv Griffin Show, trumpeter and vocalist Jack Sheldon qualifies, hands-down, as a force of jazz and one ...
