Interpreting the Lennon/ McCartney Songbook: Part 2, Rubber Soul and Revolver
by Larry Slater
The songwriting team of John Lennon and Paul McCartney became increasingly sophisticated by the mid 1960s. McCartney was the more knowledgeable musically, as he played piano and understood harmony (though he never did learn to read music). Much of John Lennon's writing had a harder edge, and he had a way with lyrics. The albums Rubber ...
Introducing Pianist Ben Collins-Siegel
by Sanford Josephson
I first saw Ben Collins-Siegel play piano in July 2019 at the Roselle Park Jazz Festival. Then a 12-year-old seventh grader at Maplewood Middle School, he led off a performance by the JTole Jazz Orchestra of Thad Jones' “Counter Block," written for the Count Basie Orchestra. It was stunning. JTole stands for Julius Tolentino, ...
Dave Kline At Blues Alley

Dave Kline Blues AlleyWashington, DC June 20, 2025 Keyboard, guitar, bass and drums: a standard jazz quartet, no doubt, no argument.

Ed Palermo: Prog vs. Fusion: A War of the Ages
by Jack Bowers
Well, if it walks like a big band and talks like a big band...chances are it's a big band, even though, in the case of Ed Palermo's New York-based 18-piece ensemble, it neither walks nor talks much like any other big band on planet earth. On Prog Vs. Fusion, Palermo casts aside many established harmonic principles ...
Phil Haynes: Return to Electric
by Glenn Astarita
Phil Haynes, a drummer who possesses an extensive and heralded resume, unleashes Return to Electric, a semiavant-garde fusion-fueled romp that feels like a love letter to the electric guitar's golden era, delivered with a sly wink. This album displays Haynes, guitarist Steve Salerno, and bassist Drew Gress capturing the experimental spirit of 1970s jazz-rock while demonstrating ...
The Ed Palermo Big Band: Prog vs. Fusion: A War of the Ages
by Kyle Simpler
Sometimes musicians with serious chops take their music a little too seriously. Others, however, manage to combine talent and humor in a way that proves infectious. The Ed Palermo Big Band is one of the best examples of the latter. With albums drawing on such diverse influences as Frank Zappa, Paul Butterfield, and King Crimson, Palermo ...
