I Heart The Jazz With Strings Genre + Porgy & Bess
by David Brown
I heart the jazz with strings genre. Tonight, the most bizarre of these records, the great Johnny Hodges with Lawrence Welk's Orchestra. We then check our coats at the famed Chicago supper club Mr. Kelly's for some vocals from Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day. Then, after a set of new releases including Chicago's Natural Information Society ...
Hal Galper Trio: Trip the Light Fantastic
by Ken Dryden
This liner note assignment was very special to me, as it followed a phone interview that I did with Hal Galper that was a cover feature. Galper was ecstatic when it was published and called me one afternoon, exclaiming that the release date for his new CD was being moved up and he didn't have time ...
Jazz Dispensary Top Shelf: Bernard Purdie and David Axelrod
by C. Andrew Hovan
As part of Concord Music and Craft Recordings, the Jazz Dispensary line was developed in 2016 to mine some of the funkier and more soul-influenced music housed in the catalogs of Prestige, Milestone, and Fantasy. Their initial offerings were mix tape-style collections frequently tapping into the mystique of the '70s and often appearing on Record Store ...
Meet Clifford Bass
by Tessa Souter and Andrea Wolper
Our newest super fan's first jazz record was The Best of Nat King Cole, which he chose at just ten years old! The bug bit him so hard that, by age 14, he was listening obsessively to A Love Supreme. He is now such a fan of improvisational, in-the-moment performance that he rarely listens to recordings, ...

Video: Cannonball Adderley Sextet, BBC 1964
I love colorized jazz videos. Jazz, for me, is always exciting, but there's something about color that brings the jazz artist you're watching alive and on par with the music. Here's the Cannonball Sextet at the BBC studio in London in 1964. The group featured Cannonball Adderley (alto sax), Nat Adderley (cornet), Charles Lloyd (tenor sax, ...
Hal Galper Quintet: Live at the Berlin Philharmonic 1977
by Paul Rauch
Sullivan County, New York, is a long way from the grind of the jazz scene in New York City. For iconic pianist Hal Galper, it has been home for some forty five years. The area has long drawn artists attracted to its rural lifestyle, and quick access to the city. For Galper, his move represented a ...
Criss Cross Records: The Healing Power Of Authenticity
by Chris May
When the founder of the Netherlands-based Criss Cross Jazz label, Gerry Teekens, passed away in 2019, there was an odds-on chance that Criss Cross would leave town with him. That is often the fate, in such circumstances, of organisations led by a singular visionary and defined by their personal aesthetic. The loss of the label would ...
John Donegan - The Irish Sextet: Shadows Linger
by Ian Patterson
Shadows Linger is the seventh album from veteran Irish pianist John Donegan, whose dedication to jazz dates back to the '70s when he played on the scenes of his native Cork and later Dublin, before moving across the pond to England. While in Dublin, Donegan worked with the Irish legends guitarist Louis Stewart and drummer John ...
