Jazz Spouses Get Smart

May 15, 2010

Behind most jazz legends is a tireless spouse. As my article in today's Wall Street Journal notes, being married to a jazz legend is tough stuff.

Tony Bennett: Movie Song Album

May 15, 2010

One of Tony Bennett's most spectacular recordings of the 1960s is The Movie Song Album. On this 1965 tribute to Hollywood, Bennett is at his artistic and vocal best, delivering deeply personal and emotionally reflective renditions of the day's movie themes. For my money, there's no finer Bennett than the singer interpreting 1960s movie and Broadway ...

Deep Cuts: Pink Floyd, "One of My Turns" (1979)

May 15, 2010

By Nick Deriso All apologies to Roger Waters, who's dragging it back on the road for a series of 30th anniversary concert performances, but I was never all that into Pink Floyd's “The Wall."Too much talking, not enough -- you know -- music. While working out issues in dealing with a meteoric ...
