Jazz Musician of the Day: Brian Blade
All About Jazz is celebrating Brian Blade's birthday today! “I remember when I first read the words hanging in a frame on my grandma Rosa\'s wall.

Jon Cowherd: Mercy
by John Kelman
It's always difficult for an artist who has become so intimately associated with a group--especially if he or she has been a significant compositional contributor--to build a separate identity outside of that group. It might be one of the reasons that Pat Metheny Group keyboardist Lyle Mays--who not only contributed compositions of his own, but also ...

Wolfgang Muthspiel: Driftwood
by John Kelman

Wayne Shorter Quartet Plays National Concert Hall, Dublin, June 14
The Wayne Shorter Quartet gig at the National Concert Hall, Dublin, Saturday June 14, is an unmissable, possibly never to be repeated event.

Perhaps only tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins enjoys the same degree of adulation in jazz circles, but ...
