For Your Pleasure: Bryan Ferry Gives Us More
It’s been three years since Bryan Ferry has released a studio album. His last album, Dylanesque (2007), contained Ferry’s interpretations of the songs of Bob Dylan. Rising up the UK charts to #5, the album hardly got the attention of an American audience (reaching only #117 on the charts). It is worth mentioning that Bryan [...]
New Music From Newport Jazz and The Ash Grove
New Releases from the 1955 Newport Jazz Festival and the Ash Grove
The Ash Grove was a club in Los Angeles that was a haven for folk and blues musicians alike. Two remarkable performances are now available to stream and download: Doc Watson, in a spectacular solo performance from 1965, and an early 1964 performance from [...]

Tears for Fears Shouts Some More…

Yes, the wide-mouthed duo are touring the US and Canada after a hiatus and have just played the Hammerstein Ballroom on [...]
The West Side Story, Jazzified
West Side Story broke ground as a theatrical performance in 1957. From its debut, the show sold out consecutively, toured internationally, and was consequently turned into a movie production that furthered the production’s immense success. The recorded soundtrack was released in 1957 with the original cast, and then released again as the movie soundtrack in [...]
