UK singer/songwriter Pete Molinari, pictured here at the 2009 Cambridge Folk Festival, has just released an excellent record of Ricky Nelson/Bob Dylan/Everly Brothers-influenced folk/pop, entitled A Train Bound For Glory. Thanks to producer/musician Adam Landry, along with the fine guitar work of Chris Scruggs (acoustic & electric guitars, pedal steel), there's more of an edge to Molinari's songs of the heart. As well, Molinari's singing has matured, growing into his own, distinct and golden voice. Not to mention that The Jordanaires also guests on a few songs, as well as The McCrary Sisters.

Photographer Herman Leonard is best known for his iconic images of jazz greats shot in New York jazz clubs in the late 1940's and 1950's. He died on Sat., August 14th. He was 87 years old. His work has endured, capturing legends such as Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday and Dexter Gordon, in their smoke-filled after-hours environment. Pictured here is a young Dianne Carroll providing a light for Louis Armstrong as Duke Ellington looks on.
