Business issues subsequently were worked out and the release is official ...
Buffalo Suicide Prevention Unit: Buffalo Suicide Prevention Unit
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Buffalo Suicide Prevention Unit takes free playing to its outer limits on this self-titled release, improvising the tunes in the studio and letting everyone's collective musical instincts work toward creating a coherent whole.

Gene Ludwig: Live in Las Vegas
by Terrell Kent Holmes
When Hammond B-3 maestro Gene Ludwig performed recently at JALC's tribute to fellow Pittsburgh native Stanley Turrentine, his playing was certainly up to the occasion. Unfortunately, the sound system at the Allen Room wasn't. On certain notes the organ faded out or crackled like poor radio reception. These audio problems might have diminished Ludwig's performance, but ...
