The Gabe Dixon Band’s self titled, Fantasy Records debut will be released on 8/26 and has already become a favorite of 2008. Paste calls Dixon “the next great Pop Piano Man.

I was reading a story in the LA Times last week about a plane crash in Compton, and the photo of a witness to the crash caught my eye - what was that on his shirt? As you can see, it wasn't something suitable for a family newspaper. Good eye, Times editors! I bet that guy would like these records. I sure do.

“Dream” with the Elliot Lawrence Orchestra. Aptly on the Fantasy Records label. The typography, the lighting, her figure and the spareness of the room all add up to a kind of simple elegance on this cover.
