Cécile McLorin Salvant's Ogresse At Carnegie Hall
by Adam Beaudoin
Cécile McLorin Salvant Carnegie Hall Ogresse New York, NY May 21, 2025 The relationship between jazz and classical music has a long, complicated history.

Louis Stewart: I Thought About You
by Ian Patterson
For jazz guitar fans, and for aficionados of Irish guitarist Louis Stewart in particular, the 2022 relaunch of '70s label Livia Records has been manna from heaven. This is the born-again label's fifth reissue of the great Dublin six-stringer's out-of-print recordings since the series launched with Stewart's other 1977 album Out on His Own (Livia Records, ...
Chad McCullough: Transverse
by Dan McClenaghan
Chance encounters can be fortuitous and fruitful. Trumpeter Chad McCullough, on a visit to Macedonia to convene with family, found his way into a small cafe in Skopje, the capital of Independent North Macedonia, where he encountered a local trio: pianist Gordon Spasovski, bassist Kiril Tufekcievski and drummer Viktor Filipovski.

James Williams: I Fall In Love Too Easily
by Artur Moral
Several factors hinder the enduring legacy of a figure like James Williams: a limited discography as a leader, curtailed by his deep commitment to teaching and early death, the frustrating unavailability of much of his published work in both physical and digital formats, lacking even a partial retrospective compilation, and, not a minor issue, a name ...
Backgrounder: Art Farmer and Hal McKusick, 1956-58
Two of the prettiest and most sophisticated players in the 1950s were trumpeter Art Farmer and alto saxophonist Hal McKusick. They recorded often throughout the decade in big bands and ensembles but they only recorded 19 tracks in the quintet format—two albums in all. In the years before Hal died, in 2012, we spoke often by ...
Gravity and Resurgence: The Many Dimensions of Dexter Gordon
by Arthur R George
Long Tall Dexter; swinger, bebopper, saxophone balladeer; acting the dissipated genius expatriate who was not unlike himself in the movie Round Midnight; his dressed-up persona “Society Red;" the laconic elder statesman of his later years. Dexter Gordon is all those things, but more than a kaleidoscope of caricatures. Those who trace their lineages through ...
