Jacob Chung: Live At Frankie's Jazz Club
by Jack Bowers
Boss tenor Jacob Chung is back, performing Live at Frankie's Jazz Club in Vancouver, British Columbia. It is the reed master's second recording for Cory Weeds' Cellar Music Group (following 2024's The Sage), this time leading a quartet rather than a quintet as he did on that earlier album.

by Sanford Josephson
Growing up in Oneonta, New York, Tyler Henderson “noodled around for five years on a piano that a church donated to my family. I learned to play older rock songs by ear--stuff from Chicago and The Beatles. Then, in seventh grade, I heard the Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas album (Fantasy, 1965). I was really intrigued. I had never heard music like that before. Then I discovered Bill Evans. He became my obsession." When Henderson was entering ninth grade, his ...
