Grrrr... Young Lions Revisited
by Patrick Burnette
It had to happen. The bastards came of jazz-age in the eighties and nineties--an era when young lions roamed the earth (and the mall record bins) and, sooner or later, attention must be paid. What to say about this last gasp of mainstream, corporate-approved jazz before the collapse of the majors? Oh, so very, very much. ...
Tuesday Night Jams at the Owl: A 25 Year Legacy in Seattle
by Paul Rauch

Chicago Soul Jazz Collective: It Takes a Spark to Start a Fire
by John Pietaro
Solace. Listening to classic 1960s soul-jazz as an escape from today's stresses united the musicians who founded the Chicago Soul Jazz Collective.
