Guitarist Dave Stryker and saxophonist Steve Slagle met the night Stryker auditioned for organist Jack McDuff when he first moved to New York, and they have co-led the Stryker/Slagle Band since 2003.

Brad Mehldau Trio / GoGo Penguin at World Cafe Live
by Geno Thackara
If there's one thing about music that keeps us all going, it has to be endless adaptability. There's no instrument or genre that doesn't have some fresh possibilities still to discover (except maybe hair metal, I suppose). Philadelphia's World Cafe Live offered yet another illustration of the idea by hosting two exceptional piano trios within the ...
Carla Bley/Andy Sheppard/Steve Swallow: Andando el Tiempo
by Karl Ackermann
There are few figures in modern music that are truly more iconic than Carla Bley. Her list of accomplishments are impossible to chronicle in this limited space, but suffice to say that her influence traverses genres, styles and generations, in a way that perhaps no other artist has approached. Her early crowning jewel—the jazz opera Escalator ...

On the Buddy Rich band's album Big Swing Face (circa 1967), Ernie Watts unleashes a blazing alto sax solo on the title track that is guaranteed to send chills up and down the spine and leave listeners wondering, “How did he do that?"

I 10 Cd nel CD-Player di... Emanuele Maniscalco
by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Massimiliano Milesi, Giacomo Papetti -Dimidiam (UR Rrecords -2015). Basso e sax tenore. Mi piace questa formazione minima ma articolata, che per me trova il suo punto di riferimento attuale nel duo degli islandesi Óskar Guðjónsson e Skúli Sverisson. Max e Giacomo, che sono anche carissimi amici, mi conducono in parte verso quelle atmosfere, trascinandole ...

Lucian Ban: Songs From Afar
by Budd Kopman
It is a truism that musical art, in whatever genre, entails much more than just the technical, either physical or theoretical. True art also has that ineffable something, which could be described as the soul of the performer touching the soul of the listener. The performer brings everything (including, of course, the extra-musical) he or she ...
