Eugenie Jones: Come Out Swingin'
by C. Michael Bailey
The last we heard from Seattle-based Renaissance woman Eugenie Jones was on her quite excellent debut recording Black Lace Blue Tears (Self Produced, 2013).

That kind of change ...
Michael McNeill Trio: Flight
by Budd Kopman
Michael McNeill and his trio (bassist Ken Filiano and drummer Phil Haynes) return after Passageways with the marvelous Flight.
