Paul Carr: Straight Ahead Soul
by C. Michael Bailey
If saxophonist Paul Carr could be described in a single word, it would be durable.

His tone and attack are made of the same precious metal as that of Hank Crawford and ...

Retta Christie with David Evans and David Frishberg: Volumes 1 and 2
by C. Michael Bailey
Vocalist Retta Christie exists at the curious intersection of country & western, swing and film music.
