Stephen Anderson: Forget Not
by Jay Deshpande
Pianist Stephen Anderson is an exemplar of the scholar-musician. Although jazz education is an ever-growing field, it's rare to find someone who succeeds in both disciplines, as a player and an academic. Perhaps because jazz is so fundamentally founded on “feel," it leaves less space open for the rational or analytical. But at least some of ...
Eric Reed: Sacred Jazz
by Eric Reed
Generally, the idea of “sacred jazz" either brings to mind Duke Ellington's three sacred concerts or causes confusion in the minds of those who are not cognizant of what is “sacred" or “jazz." Is it John Coltrane's A Love Supreme, Mary Lou Williams' Black Christ of the Andes or Ahmad Jamal's After Fajr? In all these ...
Three of a Perfect Pair
by Chris M. Slawecki
For the past decade or thereabouts, I've tried to organize “From the Inside Out" around one theme, to address in one column the different ways that different musicians perform on the same instrument, or in the same style or genre. But if there's one lesson that life seems intent on teaching, it's that music (like life) ...
Art Farmer: Brass Shout / The Aztec Suite
by Chris M. Slawecki
Brass Shout / The Aztec Suite combines two Art Farmer releases: Brass Shout, arranged by his longtime associate, Benny Golson, and The Aztec Suite, including its famous panoramic title track, arranged by Chico O'Farrill. Combining these two titles, both from 1959, creates an expansive survey of jazz, Latin jazz, and pop played as jazz. ...
Cynthia Felton: Afro Blue: The Music of Oscar Brown, Jr.
by C. Michael Bailey
Oscar Brown, Jr. (1926-2005) was a man of many talents and interests. Brown could count himself as a singer, songwriter, arranger, playwright, poet, and civil right activist with political proclivities. In jazz, Brown is best remembered for providing lyrics to many instrumental jazz standards, including Miles Davis' “All Blues" and Bobby Timmons' “Dat Dere." Dr. Cynthia ...

Don Patterson/Bobby Timmons: Holiday Soul
by C. Andrew Hovan
With December ushering in the holiday season, it seemed logical to allow this month's column to address two items that fall under the category of jazzy Christmas fare. Although the repertoire in this area is really quite limited, some of the more memorable holiday jazz sides include works by Ella Fitzgerald and Jimmy Smith. For my ...
