Brenda Earle Stokes: Right About Now

Read "Right About Now" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Is Brenda Earle Stokes primarily a vocalist, a composer, or a pianist? That's an unanswerable question if ever there was one. The marketplace typically forces artists to list their chief credential first, making it easier to categorize and pigeonhole them, but that's a problem for Stokes; she's equally talented in all three areas, as demonstrated throughout ...

Dan Weiss: Fourteen

Read "Fourteen" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian

by Hrayr Attarian

Intrepid drummer Dan Weiss' multi segment Fourteen is not a suite in the classical sense of the word.
