Live music in New York and elsewhere. Life-affirming sounds caught in performance, on recordings, and anywhere else I find them. The fight for and beauty of New Orleans culture.

I'm a writer and editor living in Brooklyn, New York. Most of the time, whatever I'm up to, I'd rather be listening to live music or playing basketball. When I'm not covering jazz for The Wall Street Journal or another publication, I'm probably writing about the fight for and beauty of New Orleans culture, which began with my work as a Katrina Media Fellow with the Open Society Institute in 2006.
