Lage Lund: Idlewild

by C. Andrew Hovan
December 29, 2023

David Binney: Barefooted Town

by Josef Woodard
February 1, 2023

Continuing Saga of the Strong Seeker I remember distinctly during the 2007 Montreal Jazz Festival, sifting through and measuring up the usual blur of stimuli, seeking out the prizes among prizes in the program. In one corner, there was Wayne Shorter, in the finest of his performance I'd ever heard—playing up his suits as composer and ...

Meanwhile, it was clear that the chosen honoree, the great Pat Martino, was gravely ill and ...
