Joe Zawinul (Atlantic: The Rise and Fall of the Third Stream
by C. Andrew Hovan
For better or worse, composer and keyboard expert Joe Zawinul will always be remembered for the ground-breaking fusion work that he pioneered with the group Weather Report during the '70s.

Chris Connor: Warm Cool: The Atlantic Years
by C. Andrew Hovan
There's no doubt that labels have a purpose in terms of organizing things, but they also tend to get in the way when looking at such less objective items as art and music. For example, if you were to ask the average jazz buff to name singers that fit the category of “cool vocalists" names to ...

We here at All About Jazz.com wish to pay a special memorial to the great tenor/alto saxophonist, Sonny Stitt. It's been 17 years since his untimely death.

Charles Mingus: Mingus Moves
by Paula Edelstein
Joel Dorn, producer of The Masked Announcer series on the popular 32 JAZZ label, had the good sense to get the goods on this recording originally released by Atlantic in 1973 and re-issue it in the Winter of 1999.

Chris Connor: Warm Cool: The Atlantic Years
by Victor L. Schermer
If one were to name the greatest female jazz vocalist of all time, that honor would undoubtedly go to Billie Holiday. It was Lady Day who virtually single handedly created the art of genuine jazz singing, as distinct from “pop" vocalization, which became the purview of so many singers who may have had the ability to ...
Gary Burton: Alone at Last
by Robert Spencer
An album of solo vibes ? Well, solo piano albums are as common as rain showers, and the vibes aren't that far from the piano. Rather than being a single-line melodist like a saxophonist or a trumpeter, a vibes player can play harmony and melody simultaneously, like a pianist. Yet even with that exception aside, many ...

For those of you that love and remember the original 1966 recordings of DREAM WEAVER and LOVE-IN, this box set is a burning reminder of the afterglow left by Lloyd’s great flute and tenor sax playing.
