Eric Frazier: That Place

Read "That Place" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci


Eric Frazier has been at it a long time, the better part of a quarter century. He started out as a public school teacher and administrator in New York City, and became a conga drummer out of his interest in African music. He has, as the saying goes, been around, played at venues like The Knitting ...

Chad Edwards: Wyoming Roads

Read "Wyoming Roads" reviewed by Nicholas F. Mondello


In his performing career, pianist Chad Edwards has probably heard more wisecracks and quips about his actually being a retired rocket scientist than there are stars in the Cosmos. However, rest assured--as he has done in his parallel and now formal career, and is presented in Wyoming Roads--his keyboard and compositional talents certainly stand on their ...
