Beat heartbeat, he’s made it to the…

… Newsweek.
Um, yeah, so that happened. It’s going to be in this week’s dead tree edition, too, the one with Star Trek on the cover (cover date May 4). BTW, if you are planning on skipping our CD launch to see the new movie on opening night, you are forgiven.
Also, if you would like an advance listen to Infernal Machines, three tracks from the album are now streaming at the New Amsterdam Records website.
I realize that Newsweek is not a publication that is known for putting the spotlight on indie jazz musicians — or really, jazz musicians of any stripe. But the writer, Seth Coulter Walls, has eclectic tastes and an editor who is, for now at least, willing to let him slip pieces on little-known early Luis Buñuel films and Bernd Alois Zimmerman into a national newsmagazine — right alongside coverage of Metallica and Prince. The magazine and newspaper industry today finds itself in the same dire straits as the music industry, and when publications are cutting back, arts coverage is usually the first thing to go… so it’s nice to see someone out there is still willing to take chances.
