Yells at Eels: In Quiet Waters

Read "In Quiet Waters" reviewed by Karl Ackermann

by Karl Ackermann

It would seem that trumpeter Dennis González could easily find a place among the better-known artists in jazz were it not for a deep commitment to making generally undefinable music and priorities that include putting his academic and literary responsibilities out front. From the time of his first release as a leader, Air Light (Sleep Sailor) ...

Kidd Jordan / Alvin Fielder /Peter Kowald: Trio and Duo in New Orleans

Read "Trio and Duo in New Orleans" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita
