Med Flory has enjoyed both a profitable music career and successful stints as a television and film writer and actor. His alto sax and clarinet work are deeply influenced by the classic bebop sound, notably the playing of Charlie Parker. Though he doesn't directly emulate Parker, Flory's sound, phrasing and approach reflect his reverence for his music. He played clarinet and alto with Claude Thornhill in the '50s, and tenor with Woody Herman. Flory formed his own New York band in 1954, then moved to the West Coast two years later.

Fear of the Dawn is the fourth studio album from Jack White, founding member of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather. True to his DIY roots, this record was recorded at White's Third Man Studio throughout 2021, mastered by Third Man Mastering and released by Third Man Records.

Since the historiography of punk is a male-dominated one, a "Revenge of the She-Punks" was long overdue. This feminist reckoning was written by none other than post-punk pioneer Vivien Goldman, who has an insider's perspective due to her work as a musician and one of Britian's first female music writers. Along four themes - Identity, Money, Love and Protest - the "punk professor" traces empowering moments that punk holds especially for women. This Compilation is inspired by the book, which was originally released by University of Texas Press in 2019.

Avid Jazz here presents four classic Nat Adderley albums including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered double CD. “That’s Nat”, “Introducing Nat Adderley”, “To The Ivy League” and “Much Brass”.

For “Introducing Nat Adderley” Nat is joined by big brother Julian “Cannonball” Adderley on alto sax, Horace Silver on piano, Roy Haynes on drums and Paul Chambers on bass- that’s some line up folks! All but one selection was written by the Adderley brothers…
