Remembering Michael Jackson
June 25, 2009, forever etched in our memories as the day the world lost a true musical icon. The first journalist to receive the devastating news of Michael Jackson's untimely death from an insider with his heart heavy with grief and disbelief. Sitting here, preparing to pay tribute to his life, his achievements, and the indelible mark he left on the world, I am filled with a mix of emotions – admiration, nostalgia, and profound sadness as I write remembering the Legend, Michael Jackson.

Rick Henry Christopher's Jazz Art
Rick Henry Christopher's Jazz Art is a series of digital art I created based upon the emotions and inspiration I receive from my favorite jazz musicians. Some of these pieces are based on photographs, others are based on drawings, some are based on a few splashings of color. Then I go to work on the computer putting them through various apps. I've created more than 75 pieces. In this article I am sharing six.

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ Critique: DiCaprio Shines in Scorsese’s Uncompromising Crime Saga
"Martin Scorsese's envisioned 'Killers of the Flower Moon' as his long-awaited Western, yet this remarkable American epic, delving into the genocidal conspiracy against the Osage Nation in the 1920s, gains even more strength and individuality when it dabbles in other genres that emerge throughout its sprawling three-and-a-half-hour duration.

Ten Essential Steely Dan Deep Cuts
I have been a Steely Dan fan for 45 years and have each studio album permanently etched into the reccesses of my subconscious mind. I did more than just listen to the albums. I studied them and I memorized the placement of each instrument and vocal. I dug deep into the musical and vocal arrangements. The technical side of Steely Dan's albums is amazing. Gary Katz produced the entire lot of albums from Steely Dan's classic period of 1972 to 1980 and Roger Nichols engineered every one of Steely Dan's albums right down to 2003's Everything Must Go. Nichols had a reputation for creating an impeccable sound quality. He paid close attention to every detail of every instrument and vocal that was placed in front of him. His finesse in the studio was responsible for turning a great band into a phenomenal band. Nichols was best known for working with Steely Dan and John Denver. But he also worked with countless other musicians.

Late Review: "Saint Latin's Day Love Massacre"
Everyone loves nostalgia. Okay, maybe not necessarily, but there's no denying that older works are what make the present what it is. What I really mean is that, it is impossible to ignore past works of art when they have such an impact on the present. The butterfly effect is real, people.

Theremin - A Playlist
Introduction The theremin is an unconventional electronic instrument, named after its Soviet inventor Léon Theremin in 1928, and which doesn't require any contact to be operated. The fruit of research into proximity sensors, the theremin's setup is usually consisting of two metal antennas that sense the distance to the player's hands and react accordingly, one controlling the volume of the sound, and the other controlling the frequency and therefore the pitch. By moving both hands in the air and changing the distance to the antennas, musicians produce an eerie electronic sound.
