Remembrance: Paying Tribute Through The Art Of Jazz Composition
by Dan Bilawsky
Paying tribute to the dearly departed is simply a part of life. We honor them with words and we pay our respects through our actions as we help to keep their memory alive. In music, we pay tribute to the dead through the medium that we know best...sound. Whether we use “requiem," “threnody," “ode," “elegy," or ...
Take Five With Ian Carey
by AAJ Staff
Meet Ian Carey: Ian Carey was born in upstate New York, where he was introduced to jazz by a performance by the great Slam Stewart at his elementary school. After studying classical trumpet at the University of Nevada, Ian headed to New York City, where he studied with legends like Andrew Cyrille and Reggie Workman. He ...
John Warren: Following On
by Nic Jones
John Warren was fortunate in having the services of a cross-section of British jazz talent in the realization of Following On. Their talents and his writing and arranging meld nicely here, the overall feeling being that of friends coming together, with a view towards mutual cooperation.

Joe Locke: Versatile Vibes Master
by R.J. DeLuke

An impressive résumé includes work with M-Base collective saxophonist Steve Coleman's Five Elements; ...
Copenhagen JazzHouse: The Evolution of a Jazz Club
by Nick Catalano
On a recent visit to Denmark I was able to spend a couple of evenings at the Copenhagen JazzHouse and digest some of the cutting edge ideas of the club's artistic director composer/ bassist Lennart Ginman. Years ago I had initially encountered the Danish jazz scene at Cafe Monmartre and found it thriving as Thad Jones ...
Forbes Graham: Magenta Haze
by Gordon Marshall
Forbes Graham isn't hell-bent on taking the jazz world over by fiat. Then again, a sterling tone like Louis Armstrong's, a sense of stride and a sidewinder sleekness position him to do so. He brings spot-on timing, inherited from his key precursor, Don Cherry, into the icy age of post jazz--and swings, too, situated ...
John Geggie: Unexpected Conversations
by John Kelman
Most cities have them: musicians who act like a lightning rod, focusing and driving their jazz scenes. In Ottawa, Canada, bassist John Geggie has been one of those significant focal points for two decades, but in particular over the past ten years. He's one of the founding organizers and faculty members of Jazzworks which, amongst other ...
