Bobby Hutcherson: The Kicker
It's unclear why Bobby Hutcherson's The Kicker wasn't released by Blue Note until 1999, despite being recorded
in 1963. The album is flawless as far as I can tell. It swings, it's engaging, the musicians on the session were spectacular and
there don't appear to be any instrumental errors or microphone snafus.

SFJAZZ Collective: Live: SFJAZZ Center 2016 - Music of Miles Davis & Original Compositions
In the thirteen years since the SFJAZZ Collective first came together in February 2004, this revolving door octet (septet, in 2009) of “cream of the crop" US-based jazz musicians has, most years, followed a consistent modus operandi: select a well-known jazz (and, in two cases, beyond jazz) musician and pay tribute through innovative arrangements of his/her ...

Allan Holdsworth: The Man Who Changed Guitar Forever!
In a time when album sales are a challenge being mitigated, at least to some extent, by the release of deluxe editions and box sets, it's still more necessary than ever to grab potential listeners with imagery and words; the title of a box set can have, especially for those less than intimately familiar with the ...
