Maurice Brown: Hip to Bop
by John Kelman
Sometimes it's not a good thing when young artists release their own records before they have the opportunity to pay some dues.

Wallace Roney: Prototype

Keyboardist Adam Holzman augments the atmospherics with Wurlitzer, organ, and synths on many of the tracks. In ...
