Brent Laidler: Hidden Gems
by Patrick Burnette
Guitarist Brent Laidler has released mainstream jazz albums infused with a cheerful attitude throughout his career.

Jazzed in the Mouse House

Jazz has gone some pretty wacky places--Russia, South America, the White House--but believe it or not, sometimes it even invades that princess-industrial complex we know and love as the Disney corporation. Listen and learn as Mike leads us deep into this heart of darkness and we see how a rainbow of different jazz artists come to ...
