How Teachers can Swing in the Classroom
by Douglas Groothuis
I am a jazz aficionado as well as a philosophy professor. Being in front of a classroom teaching is my favorite place on earth, second to a good jazz club with hip friends. In the midst of a philosophy class, I may wax enthusiastic about the transcendent qualities of a John Coltrane saxophone solo or the ...
Zhenya Strigalev: Never Group
by Roger Farbey
Tim Lefebvre was the last bassist to record with David Bowie. He's featured on Blackstar, arguably Bowie's best and certainly most poignant album. Drummer Eric Harland has recorded with Charles Lloyd's Quartet, Dave Holland, Joshua Redman and McCoy Tyner. These two musicians form the essential backbone of Russian-born, London-based alto saxophonist Zhenya Strigalev's trio who dominate ...

All About Jazz is celebrating Charles Lloyd's birthday today! The critical consensus is that Charles Lloyd has never sounded better.

by Ian Patterson

Alicia Hall Moran: Feeling Blue
by Tyran Grillo
Alicia Hall Moran has been stealing--if not steeling--hearts and minds since she first opened her mouth to sing. Over a career spanning as many years as genres, Alicia has plugged her vocal cords into an ever-expanding circuitry of creative electricity. Whether in solo recital at the MoMA, reinventing Motown classics with guitarist Thomas Flippin, or nationally ...
Charles Lloyd and The Marvels: I Long to See You
by Stefano Merighi
Non vi è dubbio che al giro di boa dei 70 anni Charles Lloyd abbia conosciuto una “nuova giovinezza" artistica e che queste recenti stagioni siano state per lui ricche di soddisfazioni. I dischi ECM ed il recente Blue Note Wild Man Dance lo hanno rilanciato come tra i più creativi tra i senatori del jazz. ...
2015: The Year in Jazz
by Ken Franckling
The year 2015 was a curious blend of ups and downs, with glimmers of optimism offset by its losses. Venues opened to great fanfare, but others closed for a variety of reasons. UNESCO's International Jazz Day became firmly entrenched as the exclamation point on Jazz Appreciation Month activities in April. Daily arts journalism took a hit ...
