...ultimately took his own life; police eventually took Poplawski into custody after a four-hour standoff, charging him with three counts of criminal homicide and nine counts of attempted homicide as well as charges stemming from his use of body armor in a criminal act. (See pictures of the scene in Binghamton...
...nice visual primer of the capital, which we were using only as a way station. Looking back, I would have liked at least another day in Phnom Penh to take in the culture - the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, for example - and the laid-back, late-going bar scene.

It's against this homespun backdrop that the album Raw Jazz emerges, with a kind of indomitable energy that's entirely fitting for the place in which it was born. Introducing Singaporean vocalist Hanjin Tan, a producer and composer of Cantonese pop by day, this low-frills, high-moxie album is a collection of 11 jazz standards, each recorded in a single take along with the help of local jazz...
