Alex Sipiagin: Horizons
by Nicholas F. Mondello
Trumpeter Alex Sipiagin has always been a deeply devoted musical explorer.

Elliott Sharp - Sally Gates - Tashi Dorji: Ere Guitar

There is an art to arranging the guests at a dinner party or wedding reception. One wants to foster interesting conversations, sometimes between strangers, and create new friendships.

Matthew Shipp: The Data
by Mark Corroto
Music is communication, and jazz, especially jazz improvisation is the purest form of expression of one's intercourse. Think of this in terms of the contrast between Buddy Bolden, who is believed to be the very first jazz musician and Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones. Bolden began playing Gospel, blues, and marching band music, but his ...
Phil Haynes: 4 Horns & What? – The Complete American Recordings
by Alberto Bazzurro
Con minime variazioni fra le diverse edizioni di questo suo gruppo così particolare (quattro fiati più batteria), sicuramente in grado di esprimere (verrebbe da dire “esporre") al meglio le sue doti di compositore e “demiurgo" musicale in senso lato, Phil Haynes, oggi sessantatreenne, riunisce tre sedute d'incisione (l'ultima dal vivo) datate rispettivamente 1989, 1991 e 1995, ...
