Do the Jazz Shuffle
by Ludovico Granvassu
This week we have have decided to do the jazz shuffle, and by shuffle we don't mean the jazz rhythm, but the feature that allows to play anything on a hard-drive in a randomized order. A perfect approach to revel through unexpected pairings, daring juxtapositions and accidental non sequiturs. After all if one ...

Istanbul Jazz: So Close to the Music, So Far From New York
by Arthur R George

Yet the tilting cobblestoned streets of the ...
Carolina Shout and Whisper
by Jakob Baekgaard
Edward Fox was introduced as the pianist in saxophonist Cory Dextrose's quartet in the short story Last Song for Valentine. This is his own story.
