Sasha Masakowski & the Sidewalk Strutters: Old Green River
by C. Michael Bailey
There is a rare musical triple point where talent, vision, and a wicked sense-of-humor meet. Damn few artists ever make it there. I believe that it must be the address of one Sasha Hildegard Masakowski. NOLA's own has recently relocated to the cultural hub of the universe, New York City, but not before navigating the choppy ...
Hildegard: Hildegard
by C. Michael Bailey
If audio releases were ships following one another and I was standing on the deck of Sasha Masakowski's debut recording, Wishes (Hypersoul, 2011), I don't think I could have seen as far away as needed to spy her follow-up Hildegard. Certainly not without a telescope. Like Wishes which Masakowski made with her ensemble, the Musical Playground, ...
Ted Ludwig: Stand Up
by C. Michael Bailey
jny: New Orleans guitarist Ted Ludwig came to jny: Little Rock as part of the Hurricane Katrina diaspora.

He mixes, merges and melds many a style into his musical cauldron but, most importantly, he captures the zeitgeist of 2013." ...
Cliff Hines: Wanderlust
by Dan Bilawsky
The melting pot mentality of New Orleans is responsible, in some part, for the existence and evolution of jazz in the first place, so it should come as no shock that it still serves a central hub for creativity and experimentation through combinatorial musical means. Guitarist/vocalist/composer Cliff Hines is a product of this environment, but he's ...
Sasha Masakowski and Musical Playground: Wishes
by C. Michael Bailey
The field of female jazz vocals is somewhat bigger than 40 acres...like, a universe bigger. So congested is the musical ether with this flavor of jazz that it is nearly impossible for an artist to carve out a useful niche. Not that a niche is necessary, but it is nice to have some unifying element or ...
Sasha Masakowski and Musical Playground: Wishes
by Dan Bilawsky
Growing up in the Big Easy can be a blessing or a burden. The musical streets of New Orleans were paved with the glorious sounds of Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet, second line parades, and brass bands galore, making it a heavenly place for those wishing to soak their ears in the sounds of jazz from ...
