Serbian Jazz, Bre
by Nenad Georgievski
The iconography of jazz wouldn't be the same without jazz photography. It seems that both jazz and photography have been walking hand in hand since the appearance of both arts. Just imagine the dark rooms and cigarette smoke clouds where jazz was happening, and the photography there to bear witness. While photographer William P. Gottlieb is ...

Joshua Redman Quartet with The KnightsThe Town HallBlue Note Jazz FestivalNew York, NY June 4, 2013 For a couple of years, it looked like the Big Apple had lost its big jazz festival mojo. New York maintained more than its fair share of jazz gatherings in 2009 and 2010, ...

Julian Shore: Filaments
by Dave Wayne
There is nothing wrong with mellow jazz. As long as distance can be maintained from the hackneyed, dialed-in feel of smooth jazz, it can be a refreshing change of pace from the intensity and analytical focus of a lot of modern art music, jazz or otherwise. Listening to pianist Julian Shore's Filaments, there's the sense that ...
Nicolas Masson / Roberto Pianca / Emanuele Maniscalco: Third Reel
by John Kelman
Few would argue that, while the standard touchstones of contemporary jazz--names like saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Bill Evans, bassist Charles Mingus, and trumpeter Miles Davis--remain amongst the many cited when contemporary artists are asked for their influences, younger influences have also emerged in the new millennium, names like saxophonist Chris Potter, guitarist Kurt Rosenwinkel and pianist ...
Take Five With Jon LaTona
by AAJ Staff
Meet Jon LaTona:Born and raised in Buffalo, NY. I loved jazz so much that I wanted to go to school for it. Now I have a debut record that I am extremely proud of. It was so thrilling to record because I was working with musicians that I grew up watching and listening to.
Pierluigi Balducci: Blue from Heaven
by John Kelman
Traveling the world from South Africa to Svalbard, a harsh truth is revealed: despite challenges facing recorded music--and, paradoxically, the sheer volume being released--an increasing number of musicians deserving broader recognition are unable to transcend their native countries. Hiring internationally renowned players might seem a good tactic, but the result too often reflects exactly what it ...
Satoko Fujii New Trio: Spring Storm
by Dan McClenaghan
Some of jazz's finest, most innovative and adventurous music can be found in the piano trio format. The list of artists pushing the boundaries is a long one: Vijay Iyer; Hal Galper; Craig Taborn; Brad Mehldau and a good dozen more, conservatively. A name rarely mentioned in that group--in part, because she leads so many groups ...
Alexi Tuomarila Trio: Seven Hills
by John Kelman
While not entirely rare, it is relatively uncommon to find relationships forged so strongly that the musicians find themselves working together in multiple contexts, where the names remain the same, only the leader changes. Finnish pianist Alexi Tuomarila and drummer Olavi Louhivuori have been working together in a variety of contexts for the past several years, ...
Charles Lloyd / Jason Moran: Hagar's Song
by Enrique Turpin
No habrá que pasar por alto que la grabación de Hagar's Song no está producida por Manfred Eicher, sino por el propio Charles Lloyd junto con su mujer y mánager Dorothy Darr. El asunto debió de surgir de un modo natural, mientras el matrimonio observaba tal vez una de las fantásticas puestas de sol que se ...
