Naughty Professor: Kings

by Mike Jacobs
October 5, 2023

It seems that over the last few years, the New Orleans-based collective Naughty Professor has built up a reputation that has a lot of musicians ambling on down to the Crescent City to sit in with them. Their one/two punch of an ultra-tight rhythm section coupled with a sharper-than-a-tack horn section makes it easy to understand ...

Lorraine Feather's Language Turns A Witty Phrase

by Ken Dryden
March 31, 2023

I got to know Lorraine Feather through reviewing several of her CDs, amazed by her gifts as a lyricist and singer, who was equally at home with witty songs and tender ballads. I first met Lorraine when she was performing at the late lamented Manhattan club Danny's Skylight Room with pianist Shelly Berg. We would chat ...

Ludovico Granvassu's 2021 Sonic Delights

by Ludovico Granvassu
December 29, 2021

Jazz is not a competitive sport and “Best Ofs" are misnomers. End of the year listicles have no bearing on the artistic standing of the albums they include, or on those they neglect, just like a five star review doesn't make the album it graces any better than it already is. But, apparently, humans ...

Formed by guitarist Charlie Hunter, saxophonist Skerik and drummer Stanton Moore in 1999, Garage A Trois has sparked a slew of “But is it jazz?" debates with every new release.

A Night at the Jazz Circus! - Companion Mixtape

by Ludovico Granvassu
November 24, 2020

From Charles Gayle's alter ego, Streets the Clown, to the music performed by the Kamikaze Ground Crew for the Flying Karamazov Brothers, from the countless jazz renditions of the iconi themes that Nino Rota wrote for Federico Fellini's movies to the equally countless jazz tunes inspired by circus acts... Jazz and Circus have a long history ...

Mike Dillon: Rosewood

by Doug Collette
July 22, 2020

Texas-born Mike Dillon moves in as many different directions as his varied skills allow. Witness his work with, among others, Garage A Trois, Critters Buggin' and Nolatet. Yet none of his adventures are as satisfying as when he adheres to his niche as vibraphonist/percussionist, so Rosewood makes a suitable companion piece to the similarly conceived and ...

Jazz Is in the (H)air!
