Farnell Newton: Feel The Love

Read "Feel The Love" reviewed by Kyle Simpler

by Kyle Simpler

When cellist Pablo Casals was 93 years old, someone asked him why he still spent hours a day practising. Casals humorously replied that it was because he was beginning to notice some improvement. Like Casals, many other musicians spend hours practising and, in most cases, this dedication comes purely from a true love of music. Trumpet ...

Read "Outrospection: The Music of Gregg Hill" reviewed by Paul Rauch
