Earl MacDonald: Re:Visions
by Mark Corroto
There is a reason that the saying, “keeping it fresh" is rarely uttered in the same sentence as “17-piece jazz orchestra"--because a large orchestra in the world of jazz tends to maneuver about as delicately as an army deploys.

Remembrance: Paying Tribute Through The Art Of Jazz Composition
by Dan Bilawsky
Paying tribute to the dearly departed is simply a part of life. We honor them with words and we pay our respects through our actions as we help to keep their memory alive.

Since 2001, Cedar Walton's regular excursions into Rudy Van Gelder's legendary Englewood Cliffs studio for the HighNote label have consistently resulted in some of this century's finest mainstream jazz recordings.

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.
