Songbirds: An Interview with Singer Judy Niemack

by Peter Rubie
October 5, 2023

Apart from their mutual respect for each other, and the fact that they are jazz singers, there isn't a lot, superficially, that you would think Judy Niemack and Jay Clayton have in common.

by Ludovico Granvassu
August 13, 2019

As much as we favor a complete integration of the jazz sexes, this week we feature twenty-four bands or projects with not a single man in sight, actually in hearing.

Vienna Art Orchestra: The Minimalism of Erik Satie

by AAJ Italy Staff
March 23, 2011

La musica di Erik Satie si presta naturalmente a letture ambigue. Un repertorio pianistico da una parte di incantevole ma inquieta leggerezza; dall'altra di scura, mistica drammaticità.
