Michael Bates: Northern Spy
by Mark Corroto
Did you ever get a bit envious listening to a recording and thinking the band is having way too much fun making music?

Vince Giordano at Iguana
by Nick Catalano
If you go to Iguana on 54th St. and sit down on a Monday or Tuesday evening to dine on some sensible Mexican food you can also do some time traveling. When the Nighthawks hit at 8:00pm you won't have any trouble imagining that it is 1925 and you are in a speakeasy at the musical ...
Doubling; A History (Of Sorts)
A recent discussion among jazz researchers centered on the evolution of instrumentation as big bands changed through the decades. The conversation developed into exchanges about not only the makeup of band sections—rhythm, brass and reeds—but also the matter of doubling, in which individual musicians played more than one instrument and sometimes several. In the 1920s and ...
Partikel: String Theory
by Roger Farbey
A frenetic opening to the third album by Partikel augurs well for the rest of this hour-long recording and there's almost a reminiscence of Frank Zappa's Hot Rats in its intensity. Partikel here is augmented on this session by a string quartet. A jazz trio with strings? Yes, but not just any strings, these are strings ...

Branford Marsalis: In My Solitude - Live at Grace Cathedral
by Angelo Leonardi
Il primo jazzman non pianista a incidere in piena solitudine fu il sassofonista Coleman Hawkins, con il celebre “Picasso" del 1947. Per molto tempo la solo performance è stata marginale nella musica afroamericana e solo negli anni settanta ha conosciuto ampia diffusione grazie a strumentisti come Steve Lacy, Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, Bill Dixon o Albert ...

Coleman Hawkins
by Henk de Boer
Although Adolphe Sax actually invented the saxophone, in the jazz world the title “Father of the Tenor Saxophone" became justly associated with Coleman Hawkins (1904-1969), not only an inventive jazz giant but also the founder of a whole dynasty of saxophone players. Before Hawkins, the saxophone (itself “born" in 1846) was mainly a favorite in marching ...
Top Ten Jazz Songs of My Childhood
by Richard J Salvucci
For some reason, listening to the Great American Songbook was a big part of my Italian immigrant-boomer generation's experience. We learned the values, the rules, the moves and the customs of the folks we wanted to be like. And added a couple of distinctive touches of our own. We liked big bands too. But it wasn't ...
