Jay Anderson: Driving the Bus
by Ian Patterson

And while the term “journeyman" holds some truth--Anderson has played with a huge number of people--one glance at his extensive discography reveals that most of the ...
Lauren Sevian: Big Voice on the Big Horn
by R.J. DeLuke
Swaying slightly, with eyes closed, Lauren Sevian pours a lot of heart and grit into the big, baritone saxophone--the largest of the most commonly played saxophones and an axe that looks even more considerable when seen against her small frame.
