Call Me the Breeze: Dave Douglas and Donny McCaslin Play Lynyrd Skynyrd
by Jeff Fitzgerald, Genius
"Play some Skynyrd."

When the inevitable happened recently to Dave ...

by Ludovico Granvassu
Music works in mysterious ways. Take the latest project by Erik Friedlander.

Erik Friedlander's Throw a Glass: Artemisia
by Giuseppe Segala

Ora, con questo Artemisia, Friedlander si presenta, sempre in quartetto, affiancato dal pianoforte di Uri Caine, altro musicista la cui duttilità impavida è in ...
