  1. Remembering the 'Little Giant,' jazz saxophonist Johnny Griffin

    Ask anyone who loves jazz to the name the top tenor saxophonist of all time, and he or she probably will answer in a flash.

  3. Jane Monheit swings into Museum of Art, Fort Lauderdale

    Jane Monheit knows firsthand the life-changing influence that music can have on a young life. As a schoolgirl growing up in the late 1980s on the south shore of Long Island, where the right jeans and the right sneakers were required, Monheit was all wrong. Her hair was wrong, her clothes were wrong and the music she favored was wrong.

  9. Jazz pianist John Beasley to have January residency at Blue Whale

    The story may be apocryphal, but according to legend (i.e. Wikipedia) the jazz pianist John Beasley put together his first drum kit at age 2, using kitchen pots and pans. History does not record the title of the debut tune that Beasley performed on his DIY percussion set (let's hope, for his parents' sake, that it didn't take place 'round midnight).
