Anders Svanoe: 747 Queen Of The Skies: State Of The Baritone Vol. 3
by Mark Corroto
Recall a common theme you would hear on an episode of Star Trek, the 1960s television show, not the fatuous films and modern remakes. Captain Kirk would order “more power Mr Scott," and the reply always was, “I've giv'n her all she's got captain, an' I canna give her no more." The same lines come to ...

Jazz Musician of the Day: Pepper Adams
All About Jazz is celebrating Pepper Adams' birthday today! Pepper Adams was one of hard bop\'s most significant baritone saxophonists.
