Randy Klein's Two Duos: What's Next?

Read "What's Next?" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Randy Klein launched his Two Duos series with Sunday Morning (Jazzheads, 2010), pairing the pianist up with trombonist Chris Washburne and tenor saxophonist Oleg Kireyev, but he leaves the horns behind for this follow-up. This time around, Klein turns to two different, but equally skilled string men. Guitarist Alex Skolnick, reborn as a jazz guitarist but best-known as a heavy metal icon thanks to his work with Testament, and bassist Boris Kozlov, who anchors the Mingus Big Band with his ...

Randy Klein: Sunday Morning

Read "Sunday Morning" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

NARAS which is the governing organization for the Grammy's has announced today that they have eliminated the Latin Jazz category. Over the years, I have had thoughts that NARAS wouldn't recognize a musical note if it hit them in the face.
