The massive success of Adele’s heart-wrenching 21 is a testament to the appeal of sharing in someone’s artfully rendered misery. Nick Cave transformed his split with P.J. Harvey into his accomplished and introspective album The [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bilton.wordpress.com&amp;blog=593533&amp;post=1377&amp;subd=bilton&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

After all, they are headlining the ACC on Dec. 8. Bassist Scott Devendorf gave us the rundown on what goes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bilton.wordpress.com&amp;blog=593533&amp;post=1374&amp;subd=bilton&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It was something straight out of 1993: Saxophonist Kenny G on Saturday Night Live, unleashing a flurry of smooth-jazz notes from his soprano horn. The scene took place last month, but it could have been a ’90s-era parody: Remember the famous Sinatra duets [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bilton.wordpress.com&amp;blog=593533&amp;post=1368&amp;subd=bilton&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It’s not even the only one that helped bust open the door for the next two decades of alternative- and indie-rock.

Stetson plays a unique sort of avant-garde jazz that’s an overwhelming and intensely physical blend of free skronk, psychedelic drones and Mozart-esque melodies. All of which is played by Stetson alone, usually on an imposing, howitzer-looking bass saxophone, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=bilton.wordpress.com&amp;blog=593533&amp;post=1032&amp;subd=bilton&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
