Paul Wertico Trio: The Underground
by Mike Jacobs
After vacating the drum chair in the seminal Pat Metheny Group, drummer Paul Wertico's next move was to release Don't Be Scared Anymore (Premonition Records, 2000) with Chicago-based cohorts John Moulder and Eric Hochberg.

One who held the keyboard chair for a scant two songs was Will Boulware. His presence on Dr. Hee (Relativity, 1987) ...
Mike Miller Quintet: World Goes Round Parts 1 & 2
by Mike Jacobs
