By DON PHIPPS

Composer-drummer Mareike Wiening's album, Metropolis Paradise, is a homage to her six-year residency in New York.

Even while the drift mostly ...

Bill Warfield: For Lew

By JACK BOWERS

The “Lew" referred to on Renaissance man Bill Warfield's latest big-band album, For Lew, is the late trumpeter Lew Soloff, whom Warfield remembers in the liner notes as “my mentor, colleague, friend and inspiration."
