Taeko: Contemplation
by Edward Blanco
It is well known that American jazz is very popular in Japan, which explains why so many Japanese musicians move to the United States to develop their jazz pedigree further.

The Archival Producer: Zev Feldman
by B.D. Lenz
I have to be honest. When I approached Zev Feldman about doing this interview I really had no idea what an “archival producer" was.

The Michael O'Neill Quartet: And Then It Rained
by Dan McClenaghan
San Francisco area-based reedman Michael O'Neill, noted most prominently for his work with vocalist Kenny Washington, takes his artistry on a new tangent with And Then It Rained.

Josh Nelson: D+N+A: David/Nelson/Agreement
by C. Michael Bailey
Vocalist Mon David and pianist Josh Nelson's D+N+A: David/Nelson/Agreement has two recorded antecedents in John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman (Impulse!, 1963) and Emilia Vancini's And If You Fall, You Fall (Espira, 2020). This new release favors the former in that David is a baritone voice as was Hartman and his repertoire on D+N+A is one of ...
