While some of these artists make a switch because for monetary reasons or to reach a wider audience, others are drawn ...

Fight The Big Bull: All Is Gladness In The Kingdom

Read "All Is Gladness In The Kingdom" reviewed by Martin Longley

by Martin Longley
June 10, 2010

Such an unwieldy band name and album title is almost perversely suitable for the ambitious music contained herein. Fight The Big Bull (FTBB) is, doubtless, dominant on the Richmond, Virginia alternative jazz scene, but possesses the powers to be equally noticeable on the much larger stage of, let's say, New York City. From this very place, ...

Allison Miller: Boom Tic Boom

Read "Boom Tic Boom" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto
March 12, 2010

Just say yes to records led by drummers. Why? Because drummers may rarely be the leaders or composers, but they're always the soul of any good recording.
