OCTOBER GREETINGS
A monthly page to welcome you to All About Jazz -- the quickest way
to discover the latest and greatest features on our ever-expanding
site.
NEW YORK STATE OF MIND
Knowing where to draw the line between "the real world" and "the artistic
world" was never more difficult than in the aftermath of the events of
September 11, 2001. Several October features gave AAJ's musical friends and
family in New York City the opportunity express their anguish and their
anger, their remorse and their resolve. We invite you to enjoy and embrace
their unique perspectives. And we thank them for their faithfulness -- to
the city, to the music, and to the people that they love.
140+ CD REVIEWS!
Another heavy dose of reviews by our squad of expert reviewers:
Explore new releases from Stephane Mercier, Russell Gunn, Billie Holiday, David Hazeltine, Keith Jarrett, Satoko Fujii, Marc Copland, Sex Mob, Mark Levine, Elton Dean, Diana Krall, Jim Hall ... plus many more.
