The odds of a randomly generated audio file matching a standard-quality MP3 of “So What" are roughly one in 326 trillion. By coincidence, a $2,000 Dell PC can now generate that many numbers in two hours and 43 minutes. Those numbers, argued in extreme technical detail, are the basis of a March ...
Caroline Drury: Loving You, Loving Me

A Dozen Free Concert Downloads
by Mark Sabbatini
Free online concerts are either getting more frequent or I'm just spending too much time downloading them. Either way, I'm now backlogged with shows I've been meaning to review, but putting aside halfway through as I discover and listen to new ones. So I'm taking the easy way out and offering quick summaries of ...
Oddio Overplay: Kitty Cat Songs to Celebrate Mama Cat
by Mark Sabbatini
I'm accused of being anti-cat, perhaps because my favorite feline name is “Punt, or because one of my first favorite Web hangouts was an “Official Cat Football site which included advice such as using duct tape to avoid injury (to the player, not the pet).

Jesse Elder Quintet: Jesse Elder Quintet
by Mark Sabbatini
At every college there are some students in the library and some at the frat parties. The bookworms may not be as popular or “fun, but smart money says they'll be the ones achieving respectability in ten years. New York pianist Jesse Elder brings much of that academic mentality to his 2005 quintet debut, ...
Nelson Rangell: My American Songbook Vol. 1
by Mark Sabbatini
It's about freakin' time. Nelson Rangell's squandered most of his career on saccharine smooth jazz only rarely offering insight into his ability, with nearly all of that coming during his early recordings of the late '80s and early '90s. He doesn't completely fulfill that promise on My American Songbook Vol. 1, but it's his ...
