The new releases are here again. If you recall, and you can page down if you don’t, I was talking about the website called AllAbouJazz.com for one of the best places on the web for jazz information and news. I raved about thta yesterday, and today I am using them because it is […]

There is a website I visit every week. I try hard to mention them here and give them as much credit as I can. They deserve it. The world of jazz music is filled with organizations trying to keep jazz music alive and doing so on an entirely volunteer basis. It’s […]

Can you believe it’s July 15 already? I know, I keep harping on how fast things are flying this year, or every year, but it’s so true. It seems like just yesterday that everyone was complaining about how brutal the winter was and I was slipping and falling on the ice while trying […]

The summer is speeding past like a speeding bullet. Nothing makes that slow down just a little bit more than a cool jazz or blues album or tune to add to your collection. I do not have a record player myself, but when I worked at the jazz radio station, we would sometimes […]

It is officially July. I know, as I have said here many times in the past few weeks, I can’t belive it either. Still, the month does start off on a Tuesday and that means new and reissued jazz music for you and your collection. Start copying down some names and start […]

Well, you have made it to another Tuesday. I am starting to feel like there has been a definite switch from Jazz to Blues around here lately. What can I say, for some reason the event and festival planners around here seem to have wanted to start off the season with Blues Festivals […]

Well, I am a day late here. I have visions of people wandering around the jazz section of their particular music store of choice, lost, hopeless and helpless. I hope that didn’t happen to you, my faithful readers. With the death of Bo Diddley and the Chicago Blues Festival this week, my […]

Is it really the last week in the month of May, already? Wasn’t it just New Years Day like, yesterday? At this rate the holidays will be here in the blink of an eye. I will be celebrating my niece’s birthday before I know it. Jeez, who hit the Fast-Forward button?
Anyway, […]
