3 Sisters: Village
by Paul Olson
Two guitars, an electric bassist, and a drummer. That's actually a surprisingly uncommon jazz lineup nowadays, and that novelty provides a great deal of the initial pleasure in hearing Village, an album the Canadian quartet 3 Sisters recorded in Toronto in 2002, only now seeing release on drummer Barry Romberg's Romhog label. Romberg, guitarists Geoff Young and Daryl Jahnke, and bassist Chris Tarry play good old-fashioned fusion music--at least “fusion in the 1970 definition of any jazz music with electric ...

JazzWax by Marc Myers
During the Depression, one way for families with same-sex siblings to get out from under was to have talented sisters or brothers form singing acts. Case in point: The Peters Sisters. Anne, Virginia and Mattye Peters were from Los Angeles, which was perfect in the 1930s if you wanted to be discovered. In 1936, they appeared in the film With Love and Kisses, followed by Ali Baba Goes to Town (don't ask) and Love and Hisses in 1937. Rotund and ...

Who Were the Kim Loo Sisters?

JazzWax by Marc Myers
The Andrews Sisters were from Minneapolis. So were the Kim Loo Sisters (above). In all probability, you've heard of the former but not the latter. For every headliner in the late 1930s and '40s, there were dozens if not hundreds of artists who didn't become huge. Reasons vary, ranging from bad breaks or lacking that little something extra. In the case of the Kim Loo Sisters, that variable was less about talent and charm (wait until you see the following ...

The Kessler Sisters, Scopitone and Desmond

Rifftides by Doug Ramsey
When I was looking for something on You Tube the other night, what to my wondering eyes should appear but the Kessler Sisters. I hadn't seen them in forty years, and they still looked terrific. Paul Desmond introduced me to them in 1965 at the Hilton Hotel in Portland, Oregon. Desmond had just played a concert with the Dave Brubeck Quartet at Willamette University down the road in Salem. I couldn't go because I was working. When I got off ...

All About Jazz
Since 2005, the non-profit record label Reboot Stereophonic has dedicated itself to rescuing lost treasures of Jewish-American music. They did it with Irving Fields' Bagels and Bongos.

They did it with the way-out Moog experiments of Beastie Boys hero Gershon Kingsley and they did it, most notoriously, with the outrageous vaudeville cylinders of Jewface.
Now it's time for the incomparable Barry Sisters, the original swinging queens of Jewish ...

Smaller crowds, other factors took toll on a 17-year tradition After 17 years of bebop bliss, the Sisters Jazz Festival is ceasing operations indefinitely, festival Chairman Steve Mills announced Tuesday. There are several reasons for the decision, but the primary factor is declining attendance, Mills said. “Over the past few years the number of people that have attended the festival has gone down a little bit each year, and the last couple of years it's been significant enough that it's ...
