by Patrick Burnette
October 31, 2024

Podcast 301 picks up where 300 left off, looking at albums from 1993, 2003, 2013, and 2023.

by Patrick Burnette
October 24, 2024

Pat had the bright idea (he thought) of reviewing albums from 1953, 1963. 1973, and 1983. Mike explained that was in fact a stupid idea and so they might as ...

Interview with James Kaplan

by Patrick Burnette
August 15, 2024

What's the most famous jazz album in the world? Don't say Duke Ellington Plays Mary Poppins unless you have a really good excuse, like you work for Disney. And please don't name some album by Kenny G even if that's sort of true. No, of course the most famous jazz album is Kind of Blue, and ...
