John Scofield: Peaceful Pursuits
by John Kelman
Sometimes a recording comes together easily, with a minimum of muss or fuss. Other times, life seems to conspire against it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't get done, or that it suffers as a result. Sometimes, in fact, it can make the end result even better. For John Scofield-- one-third of a power trifecta ...
Jake Hertzog: Evolution
by Ian Patterson
Guitarist Jake Hertzog's previous recordings as leader, Chromatosphere (That's Out, 2009) and Patterns (Buckyball, 2010) created a stir, with reviewers comparing his talent to just about every jazz and rock guitarist who's ever been described as a legend, from the 1940s on.

Forgotten Series: Matthew Shipp - Nu Bop (2003)
By Tom Johnson Jazz has been in a kind of holding pattern since the mid-1970s, when even Miles Davis declared the genre dead. Many exciting artists have arrived since then and have begun pushing boundaries and incorporating new sounds, but unfortunately what remains noticeable of jazz recently is relegated to the soulless flagellating of adult-contemporary pablum ...
Mike Baggetta Quartet: Source Material
