  • RIP Pete Cosey, guitarist with Miles Davis during his "electric" years, among tons of other work.

  • Incredibly funny stories from the Jim Cullum Jazz Band, a trad-jazz outfit. They're the folks on Riverwalk Jazz. Jim Cullum himself has a blog too.

  • Capitalbop, the D.C. DIY presenter/blog/show calendar/hub/main gig of a NPR Music contributor is profiled at the Washington Post.

  • Interview with Mazz Swift for About.com. She's a versatile violinist based in the New York area with a new string trio record.
