Bill Frisell: The ECM Years

Read "Bill Frisell: The ECM Years" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

Nothing trumps right place, right time. Sure, most artists pay plenty of dues-- sometimes in the public eye, oftentimes not--but for some, there's that serendipitous event that leads to greater visibility. Bill Frisell, surely one of the most important and influential guitarists of his generation, undoubtedly deserves all the accolades and artistic freedom he's achieved in ...

Steve Khan: The Making of "Parting Shot"

Read "Steve Khan: The Making of "Parting Shot"" reviewed by Steve Khan

by Steve Khan

The term, “parting shot" can certainly be interpreted in any number of ways. Perhaps for most of us, it would be best defined like this: “a threat, insult, condemnation, sarcastic retort, or, gesture delivered while departing." I choose to view it as the latter, thinking of a light punch to the shoulder as the final gesture! ...

Ayako Shirasaki: Falling Leaves - Live In Hamburg

Read "Falling Leaves - Live In Hamburg" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

Energy is one of the most important and elusive elements in jazz. Some people foolishly equate energy with speed or skill, but the two aren't necessarily linked. Bill Evans didn't sprint around the keyboard, but his music created a cocoon of energy that enveloped an audience in a way that few pianists could ever emulate. Energy ...

Eldar Djangirov: Three Stories

Read "Three Stories" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky

by Dan Bilawsky

The “child prodigy" tag can be a blessing or a curse. Some people who are labeled in such a manner spend the rest of their lives trying to live up to a reputation that was forced upon them at an early age, while others simply mature and grow into themselves, ultimately capitalizing on the attention they ...

Jay Anderson: Driving the Bus

Read "Jay Anderson: Driving the Bus" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

The term “sideman" really doesn't do justice to bassist Jay Anderson, as his beautifully melodic, lyrical lines and in-the-pocket-grooves lift and shape any music that he is a part of. And while the term “journeyman" holds some truth--Anderson has played with a huge number of people--one glance at his extensive discography reveals that most of the ...

by Daniel Lehner

Roy Haynes Fountain of Youth Band William Paterson University Jazz Room Wayne, NJ March 26th, 2011 Looking at Roy Haynes's oeuvre, over his tremendously prolific career, it becomes apparent that simply being awarded one lifetime achievement award from the Grammy committee may not be enough.

Walter Kolosky: Affairs of the Heart

Read "Walter Kolosky: Affairs of the Heart" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

It took journalist Walter Kolosky eight months to put together Follow Your Heart: John McLaughlin Song by Song (Abstract Logix, 2010), though, in effect, this impressive listener's guide has been the culmination of a lifetime listening to the English guitarist's music. Kolosky has written extensively on McLaughlin's music for many years, and has interviewed him many ...
