The French, say historians, prefer revolutions to reform. And in the cloistered world of French art museums, a small revolution erupted last week when the prestigious Pompidou Center opened France's first offshoot museum on home soil, in the small industrial town of Metz. In a country where culture, wealth and power are overwhelmingly concentrated in the ...

Jazz is Dead. Long Live Jazz!
The music may never again be a popular force, but it is still swinging if you know where to listen. Put yourself in this jazz musician's shoes for a minute.

Charlie Harrington Signs with Westone
The award-winning jazz drummer, Charlie Harrington, is now an official Westone endorser.

Sleepy Jazz Scene Shows Signs of Awakening
A recent Sunday afternoon jazz matinee at Cafe Royale was a sleepy affair. About 15 people, most of them middle-aged, sat around this ramshackle downtown San Francisco bar sipping tea and wine while a saxophone, drum and bass trio played a mellow mixture of mostly standards. The noise of rustling bags of pistachios and yogurt-covered pretzels, ...
Stars in the Jazz Sky
I've been reading an advance copy of Nat Hentoff's latest book--a collection of his Jazz Times columns, called AT THE JAZZ BAND BALL: SIXTY YEARS ON THE JAZZ SCENE (University of California Press), which will be published next month. In a chapter devoted to Thelonious Monk, Hentoff presents an interview done at Monk's home in 1956 ...
Are a New Breed of Artists and Musicians Emerging from the Digital Swamp?

Jazz Spouses Get Smart
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.
