Michael J. West is a writer, editor, and dilettante jazz critic in Washington, D.C. In addition to BlogCritics, he writes for JazzTimes, Washington City Paper, and AllAboutJazz.com. He occasionally writes at Pop Musicology, too. He's very cute. His mother told him so. And he is not at all related to Adam West, Michael J. Fox, or any of the other similar-and-famous names that you might bring up because you're so original!
