Hal Galper: E Pluribus Unum
by Dan McClenaghan
Pianist Hal Galper began his journey into “rubato" playing early on in the new millennium, after a quite vibrant career in the mainstream, playing and recording with the likes of all-star alto saxophonists Phil Woods and Cannonball Adderley, legendary trumpeter Chet Baker and guitarist John Scofield. It hasn't always been a smooth ride. At a show ...
Tomasz Stanko: Dark Eyes
by Warren Allen
Since he first caught listeners' ears in pianist and composer Krzysztof Komeda's Polish quintets of the 1960s, Tomasz Stanko has grown to be recognized as one of the most sophisticated and distinctive trumpet players in the world.

Chet Baker's "Let's Get Lost
Lined and ravaged as it is, the face is ageless: as sunken as a dead man's, as softly bewildered as a child's. Chet Baker's face, and the extraordinary ways in which Bruce Weber has photographed it, encapsulate the story of Baker's life in a succession of ghostly, indelible images that are at once hauntingly beautiful and ...
John Pizzarelli: Rockin' in Rhythm: A Tribute to Duke Ellington
by C. Michael Bailey
John Pizzarelli is a walking, talking embarrassment of riches. He has a great pedigree, as his father, Bucky Pizzarelli), was a prodigious guitar talent (on a seven-string guitar, no less) with a voice like Chet Baker should have had. It is all this charm that Pizzarelli freely shares with us lesser mortals. Rockin' in Rhythm: A ...
12 Points! Jazz Festival, Stavanger, Norway: Europe's New Jazz
by Ray Comiskey
Unless you're into the downtown jazz scene in Gothenburg, chances are that the name Naoko Sakata won't mean a thing to you. And Mari Kvien Brunvoll? Again, you wouldn't have a clue unless you had your ear to the ground, figuratively speaking, in Molde, home of Norway's best-known jazz festival. Or Trio VD? They're named after ...
