Blogarrhea: A True Crime Story Turns Into Great Art...Meet Ochion Jewell
This week's Blogarrhea takes a look at a unique case of almost-tragic true crime turned into great art. Saxophonist Ochion Jewell was the victim of police brutality who sued the NYPD, settled out-of-court and used the proceeds to fund the recording and the self-release of his second CD, 'VOLK.'
