Peter Novelli: St. Amant Sessions
by C. Michael Bailey
Peter Novelli's St. Amant Sessions smacks of Tab Benoit's The Sea Saint Sessions (Telarc, 2003). For Benoit, the significance of Sea Saint Studios is that they are a NOLA landmark founded by Allen Toussaint. For Novelli, St. Amant, LA is up I-10 between NOLA and Baton Rouge. There, Brignac's Sound Shack resides and this is where, ...
Rayford Griffin: Reflections of Brownie
by Dan McClenaghan
Trumpeter Clifford Brown left a big legacy, in spite of living a lamentably short life--he died in a car accident in 1956, when he was just twenty-five years old.

Scott Ellison: Elevator Man
by C. Michael Bailey
Tulsa, Oklahoma-native Scott Ellison looks like an accountant (not unlike fellow blues musician George Taylor), sings a bit like a dustbowl Howlin' Wolf and plays guitar like Old Scratch from the corner of Highways 49 and 61.

Isaiah B. Brunt: Just the Way That It Goes
by C. Michael Bailey
Less amorphous than most present-day jazz has become, contemporary blues has remained, more or less integrated and within recognizable genre.

His songs start well, struggle to find meaningful ...
