The rule of Carter and Lincoln

Article Abstract:

Jazz artists Betty Carter and Abbey Lincoln are making jazz singing a more popular and respected art form. While both artists share the same age, 62, each has carved out her own unique song styling, with Carter's comparable to Ella Fitzgerald's scatting and Lincoln's more like the blues of Billie Holiday. Interviews with the two jazz greats reveal their different philosophies towards their art.

Graydon Carter braves the vast wasteland of the American airwaves and discovers there are a few bright spots on the dial

Article Abstract:

Radio programming lacks vision and quality in America. Artistic radio drama is reserved for European, British and Canadian listeners. Worthwhile American programs include National Public Radio's 'All Things Considered' and 'Fresh Air,' as well as L.A. Theater Works's 'The Play's the Thing' series.

Liberated soul

Article Abstract:

Des'ree and Dionne Farris expand the limits of R&B music and thus have been ignored by most black radio stations, though they each have Top 10 hits and are often seen on late-night TV. Their success has inspired record labels to sign more intelligent African American women singers.
