by Don Phipps
Long time collaborators bassist Dave Holland and saxophonist Chris Potter hook up with tabla wizard Zakir Hussain, as Crosscurrents Trio, to present a safari of exciting sounds on Good Hope.

The New Golden Age of Jazz Radio
by Karl Ackermann
There was the Jazz Age, and later, the Golden Age of Radio. There was no golden age of jazz radio unless one considers the brief, ten-year reign of devolution when swing music dominated the airwaves.

On this solo concert recorded at the University of Baltimore in 2016, he shows a keyboard style built ...
The Alto After Bird - Pepper, Woods, McLean, Adderley (1957 - 1960)
by Russell Perry
When Charlie Parker died at 34 in 1955, it was as if an ancient tree fell in the forest with the resulting sunlight promoting the growth of numerous alto saxophone progeny. Art Pepper appeared in Stan Kenton's Orchestra in 1950 and by 1953 was recording as a leader while still collaborating with West Coast colleagues like ...
