Nguyen Le: Purple: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix

Read "Purple: Celebrating Jimi Hendrix" reviewed by Julian Derry

by Julian Derry

Jimi Hendrix's greatest quality was the way he engaged his audience. The warm powerful tones of his guitar playing, the near- spiritual journeys through new magical lands of guitar wizardry drew the listener in to share in an emotional embrace.

Terri Lyne Carrington: Jazz is a Spirit

Read "Jazz is a Spirit" reviewed by David Adler

by David Adler

The fact that Terri Lyne Carrington’s output as a leader has been quite spare makes her new album, Jazz Is a Spirit, all the more noteworthy. Her second and third efforts as a leader, Real Life Story and the little-known Voice & Music, were fairly commercial in nature. But this new album finds her at the ...
