The Joy, Community And Resilience Of Lucy Kalantari

By: Leo Sidran

Lucy Kalantari was a self described singer of angsty adult music, hustling her way through New York bar gigs and wondering why she wasn't more successful. She knew music was a passion early on, but she grew up in a family where becoming a professional musician was not on anybody's radar. She was raised between the Dominican Republic and New York, and in both places she felt she had to adjust who she was in order to fit in.

All About Jazz

Speaking in tongues with Andrew Bird

By: Leo Sidran

Andrew Bird has been searching for meaning in sound since he was a young boy growing up outside of Chicago, learning to play violin. He got a degree in violin performance from Northwestern University in 1996, and although his college training set him up for a career in music, it also disoriented him. He was at home playing classical and folk music, he loved rock & roll, and listening to jazz piano trio recordings from the 50s.
