How Two Stars Revived Their Careers at Concord Records

Read "How Two Stars Revived Their Careers at Concord Records" reviewed by Joan Merrill


From 1996 to 2002 I produced 15 shows--mostly on vocalists--or NPR's Jazz Profiles.

Allyson Briggs: Promises, Promises and Raindrops

Read "Promises, Promises and Raindrops" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci


Allyson Briggs describes herself as an “old soul" who connected almost instinctively to the music of the 1970s.
