by Ian Patterson
Singapore's King of Swing, as pianist Jeremy Monteiro is fondly known in the Lion City-state, has been plying his professional craft since 1976.

by Jack Bowers
The first thirty-three minutes or so of Rituals, the latest album by the excellent Frankfurt Radio (hr) Big Band, is an homage to Igor Stravinsky's symphonic suite The Rite of Spring, which premiered in Paris in 1913, reimagined “in the Stravinsky spirit" by the group's director, Jim McNeely, in a big-band framework and featuring the acclaimed American tenor saxophonist Chris Potter.

by AAJ Italy Staff
L'arrangiatore e conduttore d'orchestra Jorg Achim Keller aveva preparato con grande cura gli arrangiamenti di una versione allargata della celebre opera di George Gershwin avendo in mente il sax di Michael Brecker come solista di eccellenza e la Big Band della radio di Francoforte come accompagnamento. Purtroppo la prematura scomparsa del grande saxofonista americano ha vanificato tutti gli sforzi. Keller non si è perso d'animo e ha ben pensato che il solista giusto lo aveva in casa: infatti l'ungherese Tony ...
