  1. An appreciation: Phil Ramone's golden ear for the hits

    That Phil Ramone was a musical force in the recording studio is undeniable, and the evidence lies in the range of his accomplishments.

Kennedy in song on his birthday and engineered essential double-quartet recordings by jazz innovators Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy.

  4. Review: 'One Night With Janis Joplin' will rock your world

    The legend that was and is Janis Joplin has influenced countless female rockers, many of them epic talents in their own right. And few if any theater events have done full justice to this trailblazing force of nature’s vocal impact and unflagging connection with an audience.
