L.A. Jazz Scene 2008: Alive and Swingin'
by Chuck Koton
The Los Angeles scene has often been referred to in patronizing terms by jazz lovers, musicians and writers. It has been said that the city's laid-back vibe deprives musicians of the energy that a New York audience can impart to the bandstand.

Anthony Braxton: The Complete Arista Recordings
by Clifford Allen
Anthony BraxtonThe Complete Arista RecordingsMosaic2008 Few artists in the realm of improvised music can claim as important or varied a series of recordings as reedman-composer Anthony Braxton did during his contract to Arista Records in the 1970s.

Charlie Parker: Bird in Time 1940-1947: Selected Recordings and Rare Interviews

Candido: Fountain of Youth
by AAJ Staff
By Bobby Sanabria At the youthful age of 87, NEA Jazz Master Candido Camero has indeed led a full life with no signs of slowing down.

Michael Dease: Clarity
by Dan McClenaghan
The eminent J.J. Johnson casts a big jazz shadow, as the trombone master was instrumental in bringing the big brass horn out of the harmonic background and into the ensemble forefront, beginning with his late 1940's work with Charlie Parker. Without him, we might never have seen the star of Curtis Fuller rise on the classic ...
