Herb Partlow receives radio airplay on stations across the globe on a daily basis. One London radio station in particular, (JazzBites Radio) routinely lists Mr. Partlow’s music as one or more of the top ten songs on that station.

The JazzBites Radio Top 10 list shows that Herb Partlow is frequently on the same playlists with some of the legends in the contemporary jazz genre. He is often listed with the likes of Chick Corea, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Rick Braun, Pat Metheny Trio, Marcus Miller, John Coltrane, and Jaco Pastorius to name a few.

Herb incorporates various elements to create jazz music with a slightly harder edge. Herb produces some very smooth and jazzy music, but it also knocks with 808 kicks and drum rhythms that will appeal to the younger generation, as well as the traditional smooth jazz consumers. It’s a very “modern” version of jazz music!

Herb Partlow is a serious, game changing artist who has the creativity and skills to create a new form of jazz music for these modern times!

Author H. F. Partlow delivers a provocative and searing critique of modern America in his new book, Dumb America: How Misinformation, Greed, and Tribalism Broke a Nation. The book is a blistering indictment of a nation spiraling into dysfunction, where facts are optional, greed is glorified, and tribal loyalty has replaced critical thinking.

“This book represents a bold take on America — it is powerful, thoughtprovoking, and incredibly relevant.”

In Dumb America, Partlow pulls no punches. He tackles the core issues plaguing the United States—from the manipulation of the media and the erosion of education to the toxic rise of political extremism and the public’s alarming acceptance of false narratives.

The book explores how decades of misinformation, unchecked capitalism, political gridlock, and cultural ignorance have created a perfect storm threatening the very fabric of American democracy.

“Dumb America isn’t just a book—it’s a call to action and an attempt to better educate the American electorate,” says Partlow. “We’ve become a nation addicted to conspiracy theories, partisan propaganda, and economic lies. If we don’t confront this cultural decline head-on, America risks collapsing under the weight of its own ignorance.”

The book currently ranks as the #1 New Release on Amazon in the Political Literature category.
