John Coltrane: Evenings At The Village Gate
by Mike Jurkovic
All music is, as are all our greater gestures and pursuits--poetry, painting, literature, sculpture, dance--spiritual by nature.

José James: Why The Female Of The Species Is Groovier Than The Male
by Peter Jones
Jazz singer José James considers Erykah Badu to be the Joni Mitchell of his generation, a woman who has constructed a world of her own in order to tell her own alternative story.
