You're sitting in your happy chair at home, just mooching a magazine, when the phone rings. It's a good friend you haven't seen in a long time, and she would like to see you for old time's sake. She turns up and it's like the last few years never existed--you talk heart to heart about old ...
A Brief Guide To Lebanese Jazz
by Ian Patterson
Lebanon is known for many things--its lush valleys, a fertile coastal plain and a 170 km-long mountain range carpeted with cedar, oak and pine. Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon, Tyre, Byblos and Baalbek--its cities' names resonate with history's vibrations. These are cities that have borne more history than most. It is a country renowned for its ...
Alan Barnes & David Newton: 'Tis Autumn
by Neil Duggan
You may have heard of the 10,000-hour rule, perhaps from Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers, where he describes how it takes around 10,000 hours of intensive practice to master complex skills like playing the saxophone or the piano. That amounts to around 20 hours a week for a decade. Imagine, then, the calibre of performance that saxophonist ...

Jan Lundgren & Yamandu Costa: Inner Spirits
by Neil Duggan
They are probably not the most obvious pairing, but pianist Jan Lundgren from Sweden and guitarist Yamandu Costa from Brazil comprehensively prove that the obvious is not always the best.

Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin: Brasil

Friends and musical partners since the '70s, guitarist Lee Ritenour and pianist Dave Grusin continue their collaboration on Brasil, thanks to Ritenour's Brazilian wife Carmen, who was influential in recommending the project, and to the many outstanding Brazilian players who grace the album.

Paula Maya: Rio de Janeiro
by Richard J Salvucci
It is important to understand that this is a Brazilian recording which, like singer Paula Maya, made its way to the United States.

For one ...

Ron Carter: Anything Goes
by Arnaldo DeSouteiro
Ronald Levin Carter (born Ferndale, Michigan, on May 4, 1937) needs no introduction. Let's just say that he is the bassist's bassist. On Ron's hands, the bass and the man become the same entity, the same person. Played by Ron Carter, the acoustic bass sounds like... Ron Carter! That's why he is one of the three ...
Larry Nozero: Time
by Chris May
Here is an odd one. Originally released on the short-lived Detroit label Strata in 1975, Larry Nozero's Time defies categorization. First-generation spiritual jazz, Henry Mancini, Motown, strings (real and synthed), the Swingle Singers, Braziliana and Shaft era Isaac Hayes jostle around the mic, along with Sibylline hints of Kamasi Washington. Is it for real? Is it ...
