Dylan Hicks & Small Screens: Modern Flora
by Neil Duggan
In years gone by, record stores would sometimes categorise their albums by genre, so there would be sections on jazz, pop and singer-songwriter, etc. Modern Flora from Dylan Hicks & Small Screens is the sort of album that could cause the record store owner a problem, as the album would comfortably fit into all those categories. ...
Milton Nascimento / Esperanza Spalding: Milton + esperanza
by Chris May
Sometimes the semiology around an album can tell you more about it than any amount of words attempting to describe the music itself. And the semiology around Milton + esperanza is eloquent. It begins with the overlap with another summer 2024 release, Wayne Shorter's magical double-album Celebration Volume 1 (Blue Note), a previously unreleased recording of ...

Welcome to Eric Gale's official page,
I would like to take this opportunity to address an important issue. Unfortunately, there are individuals who are hijacking the original, Eric Gale name, Wikipedia page and net worth sites, posting false information about him, and fraudulently using his platform to promote their own "artistry." Please be advised that this is the only official site where you can find accurate and true information about New York's finest, Eric Gale.
Born in Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York to an American mother and British father, Eric Gale grew up in a time when interracial marriages were not widely accepted. Despite this, Eric's father always ensured his safety. He had two younger brothers, who were a decade younger than him. Eric's childhood included holidays spent visiting family in the UK, giving him a unique perspective on the world. Fluent in Spanish, German, and French, Eric had a diverse linguistic background.
Mike LeDonne: Wonderful!
by Jack Bowers
Organist Mike LeDonne's latest recording, Wonderful!, is a labor of love on several levels.

Il merito va condiviso con la contrabbassista Linda May Han Oh e la batterista Allison Miller, magnifiche co-leader di ...

Lisa Lindsley
Born:
Jazz vocalist Lisa Lindsley says that moving to Paris for a year was an idea proposed by her daughter, an aspiring high school contortionist who wanted to hone her French while studying at the Fratellini Circus School. Much to her daughter’s surprise, Lindsley put the plan in motion, and turned the adventure into the next step in her remarkable musical evolution. While her daughter decided return to the states after six months to tour with a circus in Vermont, Lindsley settled into the 19th arrondissement and quickly developed a network of regular gigs with skilled accompanists.
