    Greetings,

    In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.perfectsoundforever.com>, you'll find (among other things):

    ELTON DEAN
    UK Sax Deity by Wally Shoup
    "There are countless examples of Elton's brilliance with numerous ensembles (particularly ones with his musical soulmate, Keith Tippitt) as well as on Soft Machine 5 (1972), and let me urge you to check out his entire discography, which is long and
    extensive. He was only 25 when Soft Machine Third (1970) came out."

    NICK DIDKOVSKY
    Interview- metal intellect by J. Vognsen
    "For more than three decades, guitarist and composer Nick Didkovsky has built a unique body of work from his hometown of New York. While spanning many styles and expressions, a recurring theme in his music is the meeting of high complexity with no-
    nonsense hard-hitting energy. He also frequently explores both contemporary composition and improvisation in parallel. Since 1983 Didkovsky has led Doctor Nerve, a large-scale group whose output manages to explore huge parts of his creative universe,
    often in a single piece of music. Recently, Didkovsky played on Alice Cooper's 2017 album Paranormal.<P>"
