Festival Reviews Links Some Thoughts and Fun Ideas
Los Angeles Jazz Scene
I write for The Los Angeles Jazz Scene, a monthly paper available at various jazz venues in Southern California. I contribute many CD
reviews along with my Jazz Around Town column. The latter has club, festival and occasional DVD reviews. Since it is not available
online I have included my recent reviews and columns.
To contact the Los Angeles Jazz Scene for subscriptions and information, call Myrna Daniels at 818-293-0584 or send a note to: Los
