Read "Pools: Live at Jazzfestival Bern" reviewed by Jack Bowers

In the late 1950s, millions of Americans were undergoing a midlife crisis. From their perspective, rock 'n' roll had turned their kids into teenage adversaries who took all of their hard work during World War II and the post-war years for granted. As baby boomers aged and the culture began shifting to a younger demographic, many middle aged men trapped in jobs yearned for their youth and freedom, while many women grew weary of their many thankless tasks in suburban ...

Backgrounder: Jazz Sounds From Peter Gunn

Backgrounder: Jazz Sounds From Peter Gunn

One could argue that Henry Mancini picked up where Bill Holman left off. As noted earlier this week, Bill's arrangements for recordings captured the sound of 1950s Los Angeles' jazzy cool, with his charts clutch-shifting like brand-new cars cruising the region's many freeways.

In effect, Mancini widened out Holman's sound of catchy melodies using ...

Lately, Youtubers have been uploading clips of her singing in the series. So while I'm away this weekend (no, I didn't impulsively split for Sicily), I'm leaving you with clips of Lola in action at Mother's, Gunn's hangout, with Victor Feldman on vibes throughout: Here's I Didn't Know What Time It Was... Here's How About You... Here's Too ...

English keyboardist and Brian Eno collaborator Peter Chilvers teamed up with American guitarist Jon Durant to create a series of stunningly beautiful aural vistas, which blend ECM inspired chamber jazz improvisation with ambient music. For both artists, this recording was an opportunity to explore their introspective sides as well as their textural tendencies. Gentle melodies weave their way through atmospheric clouds, at times reminiscent of Budd and Eno, but with a sense of interplay between the guitar and keys those ...
