Hands: Hands

Read "Hands" reviewed by John W. Patterson


Richard “Cool Beans” Patz should be considered the “T Rex” of dinosaur hunters at Shroom. He has dedicated his tireless energies to unearthing, rediscovering, and offering the waiting-for-cool-stuff, world lost “dinosaurs” of treasures of ‘70s fusion, prog rock, and other such eclectica.

I again heard ...

The future of jazz is in good hands

Source: Ken Franckling's Jazz Notes

Miami-area pianist Brandon Goldberg has soaked up jazz like a sponge takes on water. And he’s been doing so for more than half of his 12 years. He’s a normal kid, polite, poised and eager to learn at every opportunity. Those traits serve him well. That he found his way to jazz – and loves it – is something quite remarkable given the wide variety of musical genres bombarding his peer group. He started playing piano at age 3, and ...

Milt Buckner: Locked Hands

Milt Buckner: Locked Hands

Source: JazzWax by Marc Myers

Yesterday I posted on Go Power!, saxophonist Illinois Jacquet's 1966 album with Milt Buckner on organ and Alan Dawson on drums. In the post, I mentioned that Buckner had created the locked-hands technique on the piano keyboard. Unleashing this difficult approach requires that both hands play the same chords with the song's melody note up on top. Thrilling for the listener, challenging for the player. Buckner (above) began playing this way on the piano while with Lionel Hampton in the ...

Have you ever worked with a publicist you weren’t sure was telling you the truth? Did you spend a lot of money with very little evidence of what was being done? Did you feel excuses were being made for why things weren't moving? Guest Post by Janelle Rogers on Sonicbids Blog The truth is that publicity coverage is tough even for the most veteran publicists, especially if you're a virtually unknown act. You want the publicist who will tell you what you need to hear ...
