by Jakob Baekgaard
In jazz, spontaneity is essential. It can also be useful when setting up a label.

Chip White: More Dedications (Vol. II)
by George Kanzler
A versatile drummer busy on the Chip White has published a book of his poems about jazz musicians, I'm Just the Drummer in the Band. Each is a concise, rhymed bio-celebration of the jazz musician, a poetic jazz encyclopedia entry if you will, often incorporating album titles and/or prominent stylistic characteristics of the musician.

Khan Jamal: Cool
by Francis Lo Kee

Grant Green: Street Of Dreams
by Chris May
Grant Green (1931-79) is probably the most sampled guitarist of his generation, and is rightly regarded as a godfather of acid jazz. His debut, Grant's First Stand (Blue Note, 1961)--heavy on the good foot groove--was made with soul jazz organist Baby Face Willette, and by 1965, when Green recorded an album for Verve, the label was ...
