Wallace Roney: In the Realm of Anti-Gravity

Read "Wallace Roney: In the Realm of Anti-Gravity" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke


Much is made of trumpeter Wallace Roney coming from the Miles Davis school, a mentor-protégé situation that blossomed in the 1980s that Roney is very proud of. But that wouldn't be telling the whole story of the Philadelphia native who, in his prime years, has become one of the world's finest trumpet players, and a musician ...

Ray Scro: What Jazz Education Means

Lauren Sevian: Big Voice on the Big Horn

Read "Lauren Sevian: Big Voice on the Big Horn" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke

Dizzy Gillespie: Four Classic Albums

Read "Four Classic Albums" reviewed by David Rickert


Trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie was one of the few jazz musicians equally adept (and influential) in small groups and fronting big bands. After the bebop heyday, he spent the fifties equally divided between smaller groups and a larger orchestra. His days as a bebop pioneer and a developer of Afro-Cuban music behind him, he now had a ...

Charli Persip & Supersound: Intrinsic Evolution

Read "Intrinsic Evolution" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Drummer Charli Persip is a musician who can intimate that he's done it all via his rather storied jazz legacy. He's performed with legendary bop pianist, composer, and arranger Tadd Dameron amid stints with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and vocalist Billy Eckstein along with other jazz icons too numerous in scope to cite here.
