This seven-piece band toured the country, exporting for the first time the authentic jazz strains that had developed in New Orleans at the start of the 20th century…

The Chronicles of Kull Volume 3 collects the last nine exciting Kull the Destroyer comics, tying up all of the loose ends from the previous two volumes and culminating in the most important fight of the former Valusian king's life - the battle for the Topaz throne. Kull will need the help of an enigmatic warrior woman, Laralei, and an unlikely ally-in-arms, Ridondo the minstrel, if he is to conquer a giant extradimensional creature, three scheming wizards, and the skull-headed master and again rule the Purple Kingdom. Don Glut and Ernie Chan bring this epic era to a close and set the stage for what is to come next in exciting fashion - worthy of the greatest warrior-king to ever come out of Atlantis.

Very little is known about many of these featured early blues artists, other than the simple fact that their classic recordings are like arrows through time and have a cutting edge coolness which defies the age in which they were recorded. These tracks are essential listening for any blues connoisseur, and an adventure into some of the more hidden recesses of country blues. There is no space for the likes of Charley Patton, Robert Johnson or Son House in this roll of honour, as it’s time for the usual suspects to stand aside and let the limelight fall on some of the lesser-known country blues masters, whose brilliance has always been slightly under the radar.

For his debut as a leader, pianist Don Friedman (in a trio with bassist Chuck Israels and drummer Joe Hunt) performed six variations on a theme taken from an old folk song, "The Minstrel Boy." Called "Dawn," "Midday," "Rush Hour," "Sunset," "Early Evening," and "Night," these six jazz variations on a theme are often quite abstract and not as picturesque as one would think considering their titles. However, Friedman's playing (which shows the strong influence of modern classical music, particularly in its chords) rewards repeated listenings.Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
