Musical Meanderings: 2011
Another year, and another chronicle of musical adventures, as they happen.
If you are new to here, this is an organized index of my writeups of shows, music-related posts and articles, as they happen. Last year’s Meanderings were a hit, and some of the articles that I’ve written, particularly my op-ed on the demise of CD 101.9 are still clocking hits every day.
The same will be here. Concert writeups, op-eds, some reviews, profiles – if you know me as a jazz aficionado, then this is where you find the concerts as seen through my eyes and frame of reference.
