Looking up at the sky at night, I've often wondered whether there's another us out there in a parallel universe. You know, like on the Twilight Zone or in science fiction novels. A world where there are people who look and sound like us but have had different outcomes and made different contributions. When it comes to jazz, America's parallel universe is the U.K. When I listen to British jazz artists such as Tubby Hayes, Johnny Birch, Ronnie Scott, Harold ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
It's hard to know why so many jazz trumpeters wound up hooked on heroin in the late 1940s and early '50s. The list included Freddie Webster, Fats Navarro, Chet Baker and Miles Davis. The first died of an overdose, the second from tuberculosis and drugs, the third seemed to impale himself on his habit only to survive for decades in declining health, and the fourth managed to clean himself up and have a profound influence on jazz's direction multiple times. ...

Something Else!
Lena Prima centered this project with a pair of songs by her father, Louis Prima. But she didn't settle for the simple goal of glowing tribute, either to this legendary New Orleans-born purveyor of post-war jump blues or to his era's great American songbook.

Growing up between Louis Prima's two lives in the Big Easy and in Las Vegas, Lena absorbed elements of both cultures, and that played out across ...
