Herbie Hancock’s V.S.O.P. Projects
When Miles Davis retired in 1975, Herbie Hancock assembled Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, and many others from Miles’s 1960’s bands. These new units created high art and original compositions, but still in the spirit of Miles’s work. The result was great music that deserves a listen.

Remembering Sam Salomone
Iowa music lost a great one recently with the passing of keyboardist Sam Salomone at age 79. Sam began his career playing rock ‘n roll with Del Shannon. He went on to forge a reputation as a master on the B-3 organ. He was inducted into the Iowa Blues and Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Halls of Fame. We remember Sam Salomone and his legacy with his 2008 performance at the Iowa City Jazz Festival.
