Editorial Product Review:Album Description:The event was simply billed as 'Willie Nelson Sings the Blues,' but the historic two-night stand on January 12 and 13, 2007 at Jazz at Lincoln Center was far more than that. Call it a summit meeting between two American icons, Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis, two of the most significant figures in modern-day country and jazz, who discovered common ground in their love for jazz standards and the blues. Their performance stirred the sounds of New ...

Editorial Product Review: :This is one of the three all-ballad albums that John Coltrane recorded in late 1962 and early 1963.

It also partook generously of electric piano and bass and rekindled the tonal ...

Small and light enough for a shirt pocket, Samsung's Helix YX-M1 is a one-stop audio entertainment center with an XM radio, a digital music player, and room for 50 hours of tunes, but it comes up short on battery life.
