All About Jazz
He's never jumped up and down on Oprah Winfrey's couch, nor has he button-holed strangers about his belief.

Michael Ricci
The bassist Ben Wolfe has some very tight ideas about composition, an interest in combining a small jazz band with strings and an admiration for jazz of the late 1950s. Where that leads him, inevitably, is to music that sounds as if it's made for a film: noirs, thrillers, movies shot at night with rain-slicked streets reflecting the lights, that kind of thing. On Tuesday at the Jazz Standard he brought eight players onstage to run through music from his ...
