Profiled one of my favorite bands of the '90s for Tidal. It's funny how closely my summer/fall show calendar (Karate, Jawbox, Rage Against the Machine, Rex, June of 44, etc.) is mirroring my high school CD booklet, but I'm certainly not complaining!

'Out Front' @ Pitchfork
Honored to delve into my favorite jazz album, and one of my favorite albums, period, for Pitchfork's Sunday Review.
In researching this piece, I went back to the tape of a Booker Little tribute broadcast I co-hosted on WKCR 89.9 FM back in 2001. Phil Schaap told me something incredible about Out Front on air that day that I've never heard elsewhere — I've decided to share the excerpt on YouTube in the hopes that other fans of Booker Little and this record might find it interesting.
