Music Review: Singer/Songwriter Lucinda Williams — Americana Chanteuse

The sense of place, the passage of time, the death-haunted imagery, and the coolly rhythmic verse gives Lucinda Williams’s songs their traction.

Jazz Review: Jazz Superstar Esperanza Spalding Thanks October

Esperanza Spalding is not simply beyond reproach – she is a young lioness the likes of which the jazz world has really never seen before.

Concert Review: A ‘Cinematic’ Madeleine Peyroux at the Berklee Performance Center

The slow tempos on the whole didn’t hurt the show. People were there to hear Madeleine Peryoux — her voice and delivery, her offbeat arrangements and particular idiosyncratic take on familiar songs.

By: Jon Garelick Filed Under: Featured, Jazz, Music, Popular Music, Review Tagged: Berklee Performance Center, Madeleine Peryoux, The Blue Room
