Bret Primack started the first Jazz blog in 1998, Bird Lives, where as the Pariah, he fought a never ending battle for truth in the Jazz biz. Primack was a respected Jazz journalist who was also a web pioneer when he decided to pose as the Pariah and write diatribes directed at the injustices of the music industry. Bird Lives quickly caught on and became a talked about website, entertaining many, and ruffling a few feathers a long the way. Several thin skinned record company executives even threatened Bret with lawsuits. But after September 11, Bret decided to focus on other targets, and he suspended the site. Now, Bird Lives returns, as Bret's Video Blog.
Listen to the song "In Snow" from Brooklyn's Cezanne off of the mini-album Breaking Bats For Jesus. If you like what you hear, be sure to catch their NYC show on February 27th.

I think they are a great group. I hope their album does really well. Yea I heard that they either wrote or cowrote all the songs on their album. I like well rounded artists.
I just voted for them on AOL Music Breakers. The other groups are doing their thing but I think they are the best on there. If you agree then you can vote here.
