CD Review: Ringo Starr, "Y Not"
I know that I have a tendency to dwell on the past, but it seems somehow sad to me that the release of a new album by a member of the Beatles no longer gets much attention, especially when its something new from Ringo. I suppose people still look forward to a new album from Paul ...
TV Review: "Sam Cooke: Crossing over" American Masters (PBS)
Maybe its because Ive read Peter Guralnicks comprehensive 2005 Sam Cooke biography Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke that the newest entry in the generally wonderful PBS series American Masters, Sam Cooke Crossing Over, which debuts on PBS tonight, seems a little bit skimpy to me. An hour simply is not enough to tell the ...
Book Review: Charles Schulz, "The Complete Peanuts: 1973 to 1974"
I am a bald, neurotic person with poor social skills and an equally dismal amount of self-esteem. It is only logical that I see so much of myself in the character of Charlie Brown.

The members of Blood, Sweat & Tears were seasoned music professionals. The horn section (did I mention there was a horn section?!) was led by alto player Fred Lipsius, featured a young ...
Book Review: "The Pat Metheny Interviews"
In 2007, composer, arranger and performer Richard Niles wrote, produced and hosted a three-part radio series for the BBC titled Pat Metheny Bright Size Life. The in-depth discussions Niles held with Metheny for the series covered all aspects of the renowned musician who has revolutionized both the guitar and jazz music--from Methenys first realization of his ...
Jazz Don't Hurt: Dr. Flugel, or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Chuck Mangione
The first album I ever bought with my own money (earned, I think, by babysitting for one of the neighborhood kids) was a two-cassette version of Chuck Mangione's 1978 concert recording An Evening Of Magic: Live At The Hollywood Bowl. This album, if you'll forgive my salty language, kicks ass. An Evening of Magic was made ...
