by C. Michael Bailey
James Taylor and His Legendary BandVerizon Arena TheaterNorth Little Rock, ArkansasApril 29, 2001 Sentiment and nostalgia are potent motivators for the Baby Boom generation.

Mark Isaacs: Aurora
by John Kelman
As Tell It Like It Is (ABC Jazz, 2009), amply proved, sometimes it's better to work with local musicians who, through regular touring, establish a singular collective voice. That's not to say Resurgence (ABC Jazz, 2007) was bad--it's hard to imagine anything with bassist Jay Anderson, drummer Vinnie Colaiuta and saxophonist Bob Sheppard as lacking in ...

Albuquerque Jazz Orchestra Rekindles Cuban Fire Suite
by Jack Bowers
On June 5, 2010, with the temperature in Albuquerque hovering around 100 degrees, the Albuquerque Jazz Orchestra couldn't have wished for a better time to perform Johnny Richards' incendiary Cuban Fire suite, first recorded in 1956 by the Stan Kenton Orchestra.

Give The Drummer Some: On the record with Zappa's Drum Alumni
by Mitch Myers

He was an incredibly prolific musician who died in December 1993, and his estate, the Zappa Trust, is still releasing new editions of never-before-heard recordings organized under the ...
Mark Isaacs Resurgence Band: Tell It Like It Is
by John Kelman
Sometimes it's better to work on home turf, with familiar musicians. Mark Isaacs' studio disc, Resurgence (ABC Jazz, 2007), paired the Australian pianist and guitarist James Muller--another Australian talent deserving of far greater attention--with American heavy hitters including drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, bassist Jay Anderson and saxophonist Bob Sheppard. But as fine as the relative miniatures of ...
