Yosef Gutman Levitt: Upside Down Mountain

Read "Upside Down Mountain" reviewed by Jerome Wilson

Scott Sawyer: Change of Scene

Read "Change of Scene" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Notwithstanding a history including associations with the varied likes of famed jazz fretboardists John Abercrombie, and Chris Stamey of the veteran power popsters the dBs, guitarist Scott Sawyer may have the lowest public profile of the three musicians appearing on Change of Scene. Still, it certainly says something about his reputation, not to mention his chops, ...

Roberta Donnay: Blossom-ing!

Read "Blossom-ing!" reviewed by Jack Bowers
