V.20 No.25 | 6/23/2011  Photo by Rico JazzedTom McDermottBig Easy pianist/composer off-kilter and on targetYou never know where pianist Tom McDermott will go haring off to next. That’s because he often hasn’t a clue, either. A daring and inventive improviser, he’s more than willing to go striding (or ragging or rumba-ing or tango-ing) through doors that lead who-knows-where. In the middle of a Scott Joplin piece, he might find an opening that leads straight to James Booker and start mixing the rag’s more straitlaced syncopation with the saucy funk of New Orleans R & B.

V.20 No.10 | 3/10/2011  Music to Your EarsHave Bands, Don’t TravelYou could make the 13-hour drive to Austin for SXSW, struggle through pressing crowds, spend tons of money and only dream of reaching the bar in any given venue.
