Bologna Jazz Festival 2014
by Libero Farnè
Bologna e Ferrara 28.10-22.11-2014. Il Bologna Jazz Festival non è certo un festival che perlustra il fermento dell'attualità, che espone le proposte più “forti" e innovative della ricerca americana ed europea, ma non si può nemmeno definire un appuntamento di mainstream nel senso stretto della parola. Salvo rare eccezioni, l'ottava edizione del ...
Bimhuis at 40: Older, Better, Business as Usual
by Joan Gannij

Dee Alexander: Songs My Mother Loves
by Dan Bilawsky
The maternal influence on a musician should never be underestimated. There's a degree of love, guidance, nurturing and support that only a mother can provide, and plenty of jazz artists have taken the time to express their appreciation for this fact: violinist Regina Carter did so with the touching I'll Be Seeing You: A Sentimental Journey ...
Take Five With Tracy Mothershed
by AAJ Staff
Meet Tracy Mothershed: I use to listen to my mother play the piano and try to follow her... I would listen to my Grandmother sing and Grandparents dance. My uncle Douglas and I would sing and sing... play records and I would pretend to have a microphone and be a famous jazz singer.

Black Top: No. 1
by Karl Ackermann
No. 1--the energetically contrapuntal debut album by the duo Black Top--is, in reality, a trio endeavor. UK based multi-instrumentalists Orphy Robinson and Pat Thomas have been a frequent presence in the London club scene, sharing their live performances with a host of up and coming UK artists. Among them, saxophonist Steve Williamson is the most well ...
Marc Cary: For the Love of Abbey
by Angelo Leonardi
Marc Cary è uno dei massimi pianisti della sua generazione ma i progetti da leader che ha realizzato, a partire da Cary On -suo debutto del 1995- fino alle produzioni col Focus Trio, non hanno avuto i riconoscimenti che meritavano. Le cose sembrano andare diversamente per questo suo debutto in solo, che sta ottenendo ...

by Joan Gannij
I first met Herb Geller in 2002 at a concert in Amsterdam at the original Bimhuis jazz club. The band was gathering their equipment from the stage and we started chatting about being raised in Los Angeles. When I was a teenager, the tall and lanky genial gent was playing at the local clubs that my ...
