JazzWax by Marc Myers
As years go, 1969 was a doozy. The country had just come off of two horrible assassinations in 1968 along with news of the Mai Lai Massacre. The following year began with President Nixon's inauguration in January. Any hope that Teddy Kennedy would replace his slain brother in Shakespearean fashion was dashed with the Chappaquiddick incident in July. The Manson “Family" slaughtered seven people in August in L.A. Woodstock was held later that month in New York, followed by Altamont ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
I was 12 on July 20, 1969. We had just moved to the Town of Cortlandt, a wooded hamlet an hour north of New York. The public schools were becoming too rough and classes too crowded in northern Manhattan, and my artist parents didn't have the means for private school. So on that Sunday, I was in my room with my father's reel-to-reel recorder taping the audio of CBS anchor Walter Cronkite coming out of a small white portable TV ...

Dan Adler: Friends on the Moon

JazzWax by Marc Myers
As most readers know, I rarely feature new jazz albums at JazzWax. I simply don't have the time. My heart is in the music of the 1940s, '50s and '60s, and JazzWax is really an educational blog providing those in the know and those new to jazz with a roadmap and recommendations. Every so often, however, a track pops up that lures me into a knockout new-album experience. Dan Adler's new Friends on the Moon is one of those standouts. ...

St. Louis Jazz Notes by Dean Minderman
This week, let's sample some videos from Moon Hooch, who are returning to St. Louis to perform on Friday, October 13 at the Old Rock House. The NYC-based trio- drummer James Muschler and saxophonists Mike Wilbur and Wenzl McGowen- met while attending The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in NYC, and got their start in 2010 busking in subway stations. With some help from some fortuitously timed national media attention, including one of the most-viewed episodes ever of ...
