Out Of/Into: Motion I
by Mike Jurkovic
Most supergroups happen and barely dent the dust. Despite those odds, one or two happen for a reason. That reason is Motion I by Out Of/Into. Formerly known as The Blue Note Quintet--pianist Gerald Clayton, alto saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, vibraphonist Joel Ross, drummer Kendrick Scott, and bassist Matt Brewer--hijack the lead track “Ofafrii" with a brazen romp of ...
McCoy Tyner / Joe Henderson: Forces Of Nature: Live At Slugs'
by Joshua Weiner
How does one go about nominating Zev Feldman for a Nobel Peace Prize? Time and again, the intrepid “Jazz Detective" tracks down unknown, unheard, un-even-hoped-for sonic artifacts, painstakingly brushes away the audio dust and grime, and puts us front and center at events that rewrite the history of jazz.

McCoy Tyner / Joe Henderson: Forces Of Nature: Live At Slugs'
by Mike Jurkovic
When recordings like Forces of Nature: Live at Slugs' seemingly falls from yonder jazz sky, we must stop to thank those swinging stars above for our grand fortune. Because despite all our flaws--a broken politic, a poisoned planet, constant wartime bickering--we are a fortunate, if mostly undeserving, race of peculiarities. That becomes especially apparent when random, ...
Aaron Parks: Little Big III
by Mike Jurkovic
Listening to the ever-evolving mind and music of pianist Aaron Parks reveals a sizable rock and roll streak running through it all.

Aaron Parks: Little Big III
by Chris May

On it, Parks fronted a quartet completed by guitarist Mike Moreno, bassist Matt Penman and drummer ...
Wayne Shorter: Celebration Volume 1
by Mike Jurkovic
Wayne Shorter never rested on his or anyone's laurels. So when at the start of this perilous century he convened his great, late-stage quartet with pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer Brian Blade it wasn't to take the bandstand and placate audience and skeptics with greatest hits or refurbished takes on old standards. It was to create ...
Designing Jazz: The Iconic Album Covers of Reid Miles

Wayne Shorter: Celebration Volume 1
by Chris May
In 2000, three years short of entering his eighth decade on this planet--a place of origin which at times seemed questionable, though he made less fuss about it than Sun Ra--Wayne Shorter finally did what he had resisted doing throughout his career. He formed his own band, not just for an album project but as an ...
