Jason Moran: Joyful Proclamations
by Franz A. Matzner
Jason Moran requires no introduction, either as an artistic alchemist or a spokesperson and educator. Moran has left an indelible mark on modern jazz and is now seated at one of the nation's most preeminent performing spaces--the Kennedy Center--as its artistic director for jazz. Already, his capacity for insight, humor, and innovation have launched a new ...
Greg Tardy: Hope
by Angelo Leonardi
Mantenere viva una tradizione artistica, esaltandola e rinnovandone i valori, non è così secondario rispetto a innovare.

The Poetry of Places: Paula Shocron and Bjørn Solli
by Jakob Baekgaard
There is something about places. A particular place can create a special mood. When it comes to music, a place can create a unique frame that adds inspiration and ambience.

With the release of Dusk (Palmetto Records), his first album ...
Steve Lehman: Mise en Abîme
by Luca Canini
È successo tutto piuttosto in fretta: da giovane promessa a venerato maestro. Un'ascesa irresistibile quella di Steve Lehman, un'esplosione assordante. Qualche anno e una manciata di dischi sono bastati per farlo entrare nel novero dei grandissimi del jazz che conta (quello che guardando al passato si proietta verso il futuro: il resto è tempo più o ...
Medeski, Martin & Wood + Nels Cline: Woodstock Sessions, Vol. 2
by John Kelman
In retrospect, it was inevitable; why it took so long for veteran jazz jam band Medeski, Martin & Wood to get together with Nels Cline is anybody's guess. The über-guitarist has, since joining Wilco a decade ago, managed to significantly raise his visibility, but anybody who suggests that he's been “moonlighting" in the alt-country/alt-rock/alt-alt band to ...
