by Christopher Jones
Gonzalo Rubalcaba Trio in SeattleDimitriou’s Jazz Alley August 8th, 2000 I don’t have many pet peeves, but this is one of them: Why is it that so many jazz musicians, when performing live, neglect to say much of anything to the audience? Is this a phenomenon passed down from the bebop era, a ...

Those of us who celebrate jazz also get to enjoy an altogether different kind of talk on a daily basis: the whispered calls of an alto saxophone, an ...

B.B. White had a way about her, an air of elegance and style, an unselfish spirit full of love and kindness and caring that attracted people from all walks of life. Like seeing an old friend from a happier time, in B.B’s company, one felt respect, pride, and that allusive, dreamlike affirmation of human goodness. Put ...
Dave Peck: Out of Seattle
