The Crooners (Playlist) - Tony Bennet left his heart in San Francisco Tony Bennett, the legendary crooner with a voice like velvet, had seen better days in the early 1960s. Despite previous successes, the rise of rock 'n' roll threatened to overshadow his smooth jazz and pop stylings. His record label, Columbia Records, even contemplated dropping him from their roster. But fate had other plans in store for Tony. […]
For this week's spotlight I interviewed a fellow Dutchie, Skylar Nevaeh. She is a young and upcoming female music producer. She started producing music on her computer at a young age. She finds inspiration in jazz, R&B, lofi and pop music. Her own music style contains ambient, jazz, R&B and downtempo vibes. Skylar Nevaeh isn't a particularly Dutch name.

Although it’s an instrumental song Josephine’s violin tells […]
Yes. I like Jazz. I even have a t-shirt with Jazz written on it. Not everyone loves Jazz. Often I hear people say they like every genre! Except for Jazz.

Yes, this is better […]
