Madeline Eastman: The Speed of Life

Read "The Speed of Life" reviewed by Michael P. Gladstone


My suggestion for the cover of jazz vocalist Madeline Eastman's next album is a shot of her poised to dive into an uncharted body of water. This is one lady who is not afraid to take chances with existing material and even from note to note. The San Francisco singer has recorded five albums for her ...

Kitty Margolis: Left Coast Life

Read "Left Coast Life" reviewed by Jim Santella


Jazz has a long history in San Francisco. Kitty Margolis, who grew up hangin' at the Keystone Korner, sings about the people who make the Golden Gate city unique.
