Kid Jazz?
I fail to comprehend how an organization that boasts the jazz savvy David Cezares can repeatedly stumble in its other references to jazz. Ever since MPR removed jazz programming from its state affiliates (despite the ongoing options provided by parent NPR), we find occasional nonsense in its print offspring, Minnesota Monthly. I recall the statement a ...

The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Live Jazz, April 18-24
So it is snowing tonight. April 16th and it is snowing. Waiting for “Up Jumped Spring"? This spring has really hung us up the most, of any I can remember in a long time. Yet I get email from a friend spending April in Paris. OK, enough of that. We are spending April in the Twin ...
Take Five: Studio Vibes, Jazzin Mandolin, 2 Drums, 7 Psalms, and Desert Island Picks
