The Price of Now: Why I Hate Bookstores
As someone who frequently buys books, I've started to notice a few counterintuitive things. Last night, I made a trip to Barnes & Noble, in an attempt to check out Paul McGuinness's new article in Rolling Stone, only to find out that it's the exact same, word-for-word tripe that got published in GQ last month. Already ...
5 Ways to Ruin Your Relationship with Your Fans
Before I get too far into this post, I will add the disclaimer that I don't have fans nor do I play music. I have readers and I write.

Professor Provizer's Bad Jazz Art Gallery
Welcome-and abandon all hope, ye who enter here. We'll stop the bleeding and let this stand as a representative sample. Clearly, some of this stuff was knocked off quickly. Some of it seems painfully pre-civil rights, some of it falls squarely in the tchotchke category (thanks, E. Doberman, whose comment inspired this post), some of it ...
2010 Is a Very Sonny Year
The Chinese Lunar Calendar considers 2010 as the Year of the Tiger, but in the jazz calendar this is the Year of the Colossus. Why? All of the deserved attention focused on tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins, who turned 80 on September 7—still a vibrant musical force and restless explorer.
