Rock CD Review: John Powhida International Airport — “This Phasor Sounds Divine”

Like his idol, Todd Rundgren, John Powhida is a bit of a musical shape-shifter, evoking a broad range of styles but always with his unique and easily recognizable stamp.

Jazz CD Review: “Going for It,” the Harvie S Trio with Mike Stern and Alan Dawson

Film Review: “Summer of Soul” — A Classic Concert Resurrected

Summer of Soul is two hours of rapturous entertainment and pointed political commentary — neither of which has gone out of style 52 years later.

Film Review: “Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road” — Getting Close to a Legend of Pop Music

Music Review/Interview: Foxes & Fossils — 50 Million YouTube Views Can’t Be Wrong

Even though they are a cover band, Foxes and Fossils’ performances are fresh and delightful. While faithful to the originals, they are not slavish imitations.

Classical Music Concert Preview: “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” — Via ClassicalCafé
