Documentary: Basie, The Kid From Redbank

JazzWax by Marc Myers
Three days into the week, I'm still hooked on Count Basie. What can I say. The sound, the feel, the simplicity and the prowess—no band was as influential in jazz over the decades. Duke Ellington was a towering figure with a singular band, but I think it's fair to say that he didn't influence nearly as many players, arrangers and bands as the Count. To this day, Basie brings pure joy. Today, here's an hour-long Dutch TV documentary from 1983... ...

Kid Jazz?

JazzINK by Andrea Canter
I fail to comprehend how an organization that boasts the jazz savvy David Cezares can repeatedly stumble in its other references to jazz. Ever since MPR removed jazz programming from its state affiliates (despite the ongoing options provided by parent NPR), we find occasional nonsense in its print offspring, Minnesota Monthly. I recall the statement a few years ago that went something like “jazz is hard to find and difficult to understand." (And that was when it was easier to ...

Babel Label Releases "Indigo Kid"

A young musician these days will often form a band with his or her musician friends and peers but miss out on an important old jazz tradition, that of learning from your seniors on the bandstand. Not so the upcoming young guitarist Dan Messore. As with another Babel artist and drummer Seb Rochford who chose the highly regarded ex-Loose Tubes saxophonist Mark Lockheart as a sideman for Polar Bear, it's to the young guitarist/composer Messore's credit, that his right hand ...
