  1. Album review: Flying Lotus, 'Until the Quiet Comes'

    <strong>**** (out of 4)</strong>
    RedEye Sound Board
    **** (out of 4) If this is your first time experiencing the work of Flying Lotus (real name: Steven Ellison), you might be in over your head. His new full-length “Until the Quiet Comes” subscribes to a different definition of mash-up. No,...

  2. A chat with Chabon

    Michael Chabon's best-selling new novel, &ldquo;Telegraph Avenue,&rdquo; is set in and around Brokeland Records, a used-vinyl record store on the border between Oakland and Berkeley, Calif., where Chabon has lived since the late 1990s. The story follows the store's co-owners, band mates Archy Stallings (the son of Luther Stallings, a former star of Blaxploitation martial-arts movies) and Nat Jaffe, as they struggle to keep Brokeland going in the face of competition from a new megastore owned by Gibson Goode, a former NFL quarterback who's now &ldquo;the fifth-richest black man in America.&rdquo; In their orbit are their spouses, Gwen and Aviva, both professional midwives; Nat and Aviva's gay son Julius; and his love interest, Titus Joyner, who turns out to be Archy's long-unacknowledged teenage son.

    Though the 34th annual Chicago Jazz Festival surely has its flaws, it generates tremendous energy and interest for America's greatest gift to the arts: jazz.

  4. Von Freeman dies at 88; jazz tenor saxophonist with singular sound

    Von Freeman was revered as a tenor saxophonist but was never a major star, worshiped by critics but perpetually strapped for cash. He seemed to purposely avoid commercial success. When trumpeter Miles Davis phoned Freeman in the 1950s looking for a replacement for John Coltrane, Freeman made a typical move &mdash; he never returned the call.

  5. Jazz guide riffs on classics

    I like jazz, but I don't know much about it. Or perhaps I should say that I know what I like. Duke Ellington, Bessie Smith and Benny Goodman, yes, but my appreciation really kicks in with the beboppers, Monk and Bird and Dizzy, and their spiritual brethren (or descendants): Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Throw in a little Billie Holiday, some Dave Brubeck and Stan Getz, and there you have it: my autodidact's pantheon.

  7. Stop stupid arena names now

    I used to think that the <b>1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre</b> in Tampa was the most embarrassing name ever for a concert venue.

  8. Conversation with Counting Crows' Adam Duritz: Leaving label means freedom

    Lehigh Valley Music
    Over its 15 years with Geffen Records, roots rock band Counting Crows has been notoriously and frustratingly deliberate with its recorded output, releasing just five studio discs, with just one — 2008’s “Saturday Nights & Sunday...

    Liz Smith
    "HOW TO describe Elizabeth Taylor? She was not a movie star; she was the entire galaxy of stars in one package. That was the energy she emitted when she walked into a room. People froze. When they spoke to her, they stuttered." That's designer Vicky Tiel...
