The Vintage Years 1970 - 1991
by John Kelman
There are bands that manage to carve out a place for themselves in the music world that lasts for decades; there are others who, while having created a name for themselves during their peak years and, while they continue to tour and, even, make the occasional studio album, are invariably best remembered for their seminal early ...
Culture Clubs: A History of the U.S. Jazz Clubs, Part III: Kansas City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles & Beyond
by Karl Ackermann
Beyond the Hubs While New Orleans, Chicago, Kansas City and New York City were the incubators of modern jazz, they were by no means the only locations with an appetite for live music.

DYAD: Dyad Plays Jazz Arias
by Jerome Wilson
Classical-jazz hybrids, such as the Modern Jazz Quartet, traditionally keep the formal structure of classical music foremost in their work. Not so the duo of Lou Caimano and Eric Olsen collectively known as Dyad. Their version of “Jazz Meets The Classics" is a loose, freewheeling beast that occasionally breaks off from the classical side and follows ...
Newport Jazz Festival 1959

The collector asks: When is it OK to say, “I have enough, thanks. I don't need the live version, too."
