Shakespeare told us to “beware the ideas of March.” Too bad he (and Julius Caesar in the play) aren’t around to see and hear the best of what’s New In Music This Week: March 15th.
My top pick is:
JAZZ: THE SKY WILL STILL...
"If people are able to walk away talking about their own identity as well as understanding a little portion of this Latino family's journey, I think that would be really cool."
Eight new recordings to explore on Oscar weekend
Sixteen albums to explore the first weekend in March
"A recital is really a one-to-one act of communication. And offering, an act of sharing with the audience."
"You don't only win the job and play the notes and make a salary. Complete musicians means you're devoted. That you are involved in music."
"Cocteau Trilogy" by Katia and Marielle Labèque tops this week's list.
"We rely on our dreamers and the people who have built worlds when the world was against them."
Nine albums to enjoy this weekend
"I mean, of all the places to do this show, Los Angeles is probably the right place. Just because of it being about a movie director in a movie studio."
