Ron Korb: Pan-Global Flutist
by Rob Caldwell
In a 20-year career, Grammy nominated flutist Ron Korb has experienced the lows and highs of a touring musician.

Dizzy Gillespie: Concert of the Century - Tribute to Charlie Parker

Dave Young / Terry Promane: Octet Vol. 2
by Jack Bowers

Trumpet Miming in Film: Mostly Jive
by S.G Provizer
No surprise that filmmakers want to feature trumpet players in their films. After all, we are a complicated, sometimes volatile and, ahem, sexy cohort. I've written here about the odd character-illogical bent that movies show toward the species, but in this post, I'll restrict myself to analyzing how well filmmakers pull off the act of shooting ...
