Come Sail Away
Are you a music fan and thinking about an escape to warmer places? Do you find music festivals too conventional? Try a music cruise. Dozens of genre- or artist-focused cruises are setting sail this year and more artists seem to be getting on board with this trend. Today, we look at some of the more rockin' boats, from the Jam Cruise to Vince Neil's Motley Cruise to the North Sea Jazz Cruise.
If This Boat's a Rockin'
Grammy-winning bassist, composer and producer Marcus Miller; and Johanna Jainchill, associate editor at Travel Weekly, talk about the phenomenon of music-themed cruises. Miller has been a guest performer on several cruises, and will be the musical host of the inaugural sailing of the North Sea Jazz Cruise this summer.

Jean-Michel Pilc
New York Times wrote of jazz pianist Jean-Michel Pilc, "Mr. Pilc seems to have dropped from the sky fully formed, with technique and ideas in place." The rocket scientist turned jazz pianist performs live in our studio.
Jean-Michel Pilc's trio will be performing tonight and tomorrow night at the Kitano Hotel and March 1 at Smoke. Jean-Michel Pilc will be performing solo on March 4 at Easy's Woodshed in Harlem.
