Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2025

Read "Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2025" reviewed by Ludovico Granvassu


Capturing the breathtaking beauty, range, and diversity of jazz released in 2025 through a list of “10 best albums" feels as challenging, vain--and ultimately disappointing--as trying to photograph the Grand Canyon at sunset by placing a pinhole in front of a rudimentary digital camera's lens.

Have A Holly, Jazzy Christmas

Read "Have A Holly, Jazzy Christmas" reviewed by Kurt Ellenberger


In my music history classes, particularly in November and December, students have often asked me about the relationship between jazz and Christmas: “Why are so many popular Christmas songs so jazzy?"

Read "Vince Guaraldi’s Christmas Sauce: Adding Spice to Charlie Brown Vanilla" reviewed by Arthur R George


It's not simply that pianist Vince Guaraldi slipped jazz past the unsuspecting in composing A Charlie Brown Christmas, the evergreen “Peanuts" animation and soundtrack that has become inescapably part of the holiday. First broadcast in 1965, going on to six decades ago, A Charlie Brown Christmas is a tradition unto itself. It returns to television through ...

Carole Nelson Trio: Through The Storm

Read "Through The Storm" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Twenty million years of song. And then silence. The seeds of Through The Storm--Carole Nelson Trio's fourth album since forming in 2015--germinated from a cautionary tale. In 1987, a male Kauaʻi ʻōʻō --a bird native to Hawaii--sang to court a prospective mate. Its song met with silence. In 2000, the International Union for Conservation of Nature ...
