George Benson: The George Benson Cookbook
by John Sharpe
While the phenomenal success of George Benson’s Breezin’ (1976) album may have fattened his wallet; it led the guitarist down a path that dismayed jazz critics worldwide. Indeed, the bulk of Benson’s albums over the past 20 years have featured considerably less jazz and, unfortunately, more pop. Not so with The George Benson Cookbook (1966). This ...
Wynton Marsalis: Popular Songs: The Best Of Wynton Marsalis
by Jim Santella
He played the archetypal bandleader in the film Tune In Tomorrow. Clean-living, occupied with his profession, and a hard-working artist, Wynton Marsalis managed his acting role in much the same way he manages his career. There are mixed opinions of his celebrity status. A spokesman for jazz long before the Ken Burns documentary, this prolific trumpeter ...
Miles Davis: The Complete In A Silent Way Sessions
by Jim Santella
Three previously unissued performances and six months of Miles Davis' recording activity mark this 3-CD set as something special. This was a transitional time for the bandleader.

Esbjorn Svensson Trio: Somewhere Else Before
by David Adler
A few weeks ago, the New York Times ran a big article by Stuart Nicholson on the “new European jazz." The article spotlighted jazzers from overseas like Nils Petter Molvaer, “Magic" Malik Mezzadri, Bugge Wesseltoft, and Eivind Aarset (the article didn't mention Erik Truffaz)--artists who are blending acoustic jazz with turntables, drum-n-bass beats, and/or other club-culture ...
