by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Clarinetist Nico Gori and pianist Fred Hersch both played the North Sea Jazz Festival in July 2010 and struck up a friendship riding together on the bus from the performance site to the hotel.

Guillaume de Chassy: Silences
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
Pianist Guillaume de Chassy insists that Silences is inspired by the example of clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre's late-1950s trio recordings.

This is not meant pejoratively, necessarily; farting around is an honorable activity in some quarters of improvised music, and can give rise to good ...
