by R.J. DeLuke
Saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, he of the inescapable surname, is continuing to grow both as a musician and a person.

by John Sharpe
Tony Bianco/Paul Dunmall Duo Vortex Jazz Bar London, England January 25, 2009 It was billed as a trio, but in retrospect it was hard to see how a bassist could fit in with the powerhouse duo of U.S. expat drummer Tony Bianco and English reed explorer Paul Dunmall. As ...

Alice Coltrane: The Impulse Story
by Chris May
Alice Coltrane has always had a raw deal from the jazz world. Either patronised or dismissed out of hand, she's suffered the double whammy of one, being a woman in what (until very recently) was overwhelmingly a man's world, and two, being John Coltrane's widow--and therefore, by some strange logic, not a serious artist in her ...
