Pamela Hines: This Heart Of Mine
by Raul d'Gama Rose
It's always tempting to say that any bright young musician who plays the ivory keys with a sound that's delightful and, sometimes, defined by silence has descended artistically from musicians like Paul Bley or Bill Evans. These kinds of generalizations can be overzealous; but despite the clear influence in the case of pianist Pamela Hines' This ...
Stefano Bollani / Jesper Bodilsen / Morten Lund: Stone In The Water

Serendipity can be a wonderful thing. Invited to perform with 2002 JazzPar prize-winner, trumpeter Enrico Rava, pianist and fellow Italian Stefano Bollani first encountered bassist Jesper Bodilsen and drummer Morten Lund when they were proposed as the rhythm section for the Danish award show and a brief tour. The chemistry was on such a deep level ...
The State of the Piano 2009: Cyrus Chestnut and Jessica Williams
by C. Michael Bailey
The jazz palette is long and wide. Within any given performance format there exist seminal artists as different as saxophonists John Coltrane and Lester Young, trumpeters Miles Davis and Lester Bowie, and pianists Art Tatum and Gene Harris. When speaking of solo piano performances, two beacons performing today are Cyrus Chestnut and Jessica Williams. ...
Gary Peacock / Marc Copland: Insight
by Dan McClenaghan
At this point, pianist Marc Copland (born 1948) and bassist Gary Peacock (born 1939) have achieved high priest status in the jazz world. Peacock's quarter-plus century run in Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio is legendary and ongoing, aside from his numerous other outings as a sideman, and a handful of sets in the leader's seat. Copland is ...
Paul Giallorenzo: Get In To Go Out
by Mark Corroto
Pianist Paul Giallorenzo locates the jazz he makes with his quintet somewhere in the early 1960s, when post-bop was getting ready to explode into free jazz and its pioneers were rooted in swing, but thinking outward thoughts. Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch (Blue Note, 1964), Ornette Coleman's Tomorrow Is The Question (Contemporary, 1959), and Andrew Hill's ...
Gary Peacock / Marc Copland: Insight

Gary Peacock and pianist Marc Copland have been working together for nearly 20 years, though most often in a trio setting. Peacock was Copland's bassist of choice on two of his New York Trio Recordings trilogy sets— Modhina (2006) and Voices (2007), both on the German Pirouet label. But for a pianist who mines dark, impressionistic ...

Scott LaFaro: Pieces of Jade
by David Rickert
In the six years that he was active in the music industry, Scott LaFaro had a more notable career than many other bassists have in a much larger lifetime. He was a member of the Bill Evans Trio, one of the greatest piano trios of all time, and participated in Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz (Atlantic, 1960), ...
Miles Davis: Unlimited Miles
by Bill King
I can't think of an artist who has had greater influence over jazz the past forty years than Miles Davis. For music, style, language and business, Davis was at the top of the game. One to never step aside and let critics dissuade or impede his aspirations, he constantly retooled his band with the ...
