Music Portfolio
This is a sampling of some of the features and reviews Michael Giltz has written about music. A passionate music lover with thousands of CDs (not to mention 78s he can play on his Victrola), Michael Giltz has covered a wide range of genres, from the operas and classical music of Philip Glass to the Broadway show tunes of Stephen Sondheim, from the jazz of Terence Blanchard and Cassandra Wilson to the pop of Pet Shop Boys and Counting Crows. He was only the third film music critic at “Premiere Magazine,” following in the footsteps of Donald Fagen of Steely Dan. A champion of new artists ranging from Corinne Bailey Rae and James Hunter to Duncan Sheik and Sharon Jones, Michael Giltz has also seized any opportunity to write about legends like Betty Lavette and Boz Scaggs.
