Multi-Grammy, Oscar, and Emmy winner Jon Batiste brings a jazz improviser’s touch to the beloved “Song of Storms” from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in a new performance with musician and content creator Josh Harmon. First heard in the game’s 1998 release, the familiar melody is reimagined here as a fluid, jazz-inflected conversation, with Batiste’s spontaneous piano phrasing meeting Harmon’s restrained percussion in a performance that feels both playful and deeply musical. “Josh is a

St. Louis-based composer Todd Mosby takes a wide-angle approach on American Heartland, a 12-track album that moves between contemporary jazz, New Age, folk, blues, solo acoustic guitar, and jazz-rock with a distinctly cinematic sense of motion. The result feels less like a genre exercise than a musical map of Missouri’s emotional and physical landscape. Across the collection, lush orchestration, featured female vocal passages, horn-driven momentum, and stately strings give the music a vivid s

Kronos Quartet’s ‘Glorious Mahalia’ Honors Mahalia Jackson’s Voice and Activism
Midway through Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic speech at the 1963 March on Washington, a voice called out from behind him: “Tell them about the dream, Martin!” That voice belonged to Mahalia Jackson, King’s close friend and one of the most revered gospel singers of the 20th century. Glorious Mahalia, a new tribute from Kronos Quartet, uses that defining moment as a lens into Jackson’s artistry, convictions, and the profound relationships that ran alongside her work, including her ties to King,

Allen Toussaint’s ‘Songbook’ Live Album: Five Decades of New Orleans Music Reissued
Allen Toussaint (1938–2015) was a New Orleans treasure whose songs and productions defined the city’s sound for decades. His first live album, Songbook (2013), bottled that energy, recorded during two intimate 2009 New York shows where Toussaint wove stories between career-spanning performances of “Lipstick Traces (On a Cigarette),” “Holy Cow,” and “Get Out of My Life, Woman.” Now, the GRAMMY®-nominated album returns via Craft Recordings with 20 previously unreleased tracks, including a cover

Benjamin Tod Balances 'Vengeance and Grace' On Road to Self-Fulfillment
It’s five miles from the Boyles Yard to downtown Birmingham, Alabama. Along that southbound route, the sky opens up like a greeting, the fathomless blue interrupted only by the crisscrossing of telephone wires. Bleached gravel litters the journey, and all around, locomotives hiss and howl on the sunbaked rails. Having train-hopped in and out of this railway complex more than any other in the country, singer-songwriter Benjamin Tod knows the trek well. “That’s my favorit

ALBUM REVIEW: On ‘Blues For Dexter Linwood,’ Todd Albright Performs Straightforward Standards
Even more than they re played, the blues are felt. The music is born from within and manifests outward in the pull of melancholic strings, bone-chilling harmonics, and belly-aching words. Since the genre’s inception in the late 19th century, a handful of greats have mastered and molded this soul-deep sound. Lead Belly, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Willie McTell – they often put to song tales of tumultuous relationships, socioeconomic hardships, and widespread racial injustice.

THE READING ROOM: Joe McEwen’s ‘Tastykakes, Soul Songs and Shining Stars: Affections and Reflections, 1973-2025’
Music journalist, DJ, and record executive Joe McEwen grew up in Philadelphia in the 1960s without the sound of music. Although his mother sometimes listened to Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis, and Tony Bennett on the car radio, McEwen often tuned out as the music floated through the speakers. In 1966, though, McEwen experienced a musical epiphany while listening to Martha and the Vandellas’ “Dancing in the Streets”: “the urgency of the voice, the descriptive words she s

ALBUM REVIEW: Mikaela Davis Plays With Genre On ‘Graceland Way’
Mikaela Davis has never been a stranger to transformation. She’s tried on hazy pop, whimsical folk, jam band grooves, and now, donning a bejeweled Western suit, finds herself fusing all these sounds and more on Graceland Way, her latest album. But don’t be fooled by the ‘fit, since Graceland Way is not a country—or even a cosmic country—album. It is cosmic but styled more after Stevie Nicks’ Laurel Canyon-ified mysticism-pop than any twangier varietal. A

ALBUM REVIEW: Retro Folk Rock Purrs From Fantastic Cat
Fantastic Cat is a sort-of New York City super-group composed of four would be singer-songwriter stars: Anthony D’Amato, Brian Dunn, Don DiLego and Mike Montali (of Hollis Brown). They regularly wear cat masks in photos and readily acknowledge their commercial limitations; the joke is in part that their retro-70s folk rock is not the stuff of superstardom these days and that (partially as a result) none of them is exactly a chart-topper along the lines of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young or

Why I Gossiped and What I Now Do Instead
“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss people.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt I stopped gossiping when life humbled me. I didn’t realize at the time, but what I thought was just innocent girl talk with my friends was really a way to escape my own shame and insecurity. I had this quiet, ongoing sense that I wasn’t measuring up personally or emotionally. Gossiping about someone else gave me a fleeting escape, since it allowed me to shift my focus to someone else’s behavior. Every time I did it, I

Scientists at UC Riverside have found a clever new way to outsmart termites—by turning their own instincts against them. Using a natural pine scent called pinene, which smells like food to termites, researchers can lure the pests straight toward a targeted dose of insecticide hidden in wood. The result is dramatically higher kill rates—jumping from about 70% to over 95%—without the need for widespread toxic fumigation.

This low-cost, natural solution could be a game-changer for cleaner drinking water, especially in smaller communities.

Scientists drilling deep beneath Greenland’s ice have uncovered a startling clue about its past—and future. Evidence shows that the Prudhoe Dome, a major high point of the ice sheet, completely melted around 7,000 years ago during a relatively mild natural warming period. That means this supposedly stable ice cap is far more fragile than once thought, raising concerns that today’s human-driven warming could trigger similar or even faster ice loss.

A hormone called FGF21 can reverse obesity in mice by activating a newly identified brain circuit tied to metabolism. Surprisingly, it works in the hindbrain—the same region targeted by GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy—but through a completely different mechanism. Instead of suppressing appetite, FGF21 ramps up the body’s energy burning. This insight could pave the way for more targeted weight-loss and liver disease treatments.
