2016: The Year in Jazz
by Ken Franckling
The year 2016 bubbled with events and initiatives to strengthen jazz's place in American and world culture, as well as a variety of venue openings, closings and cancellations. Jazz hit the silver screen in many ways throughout the year, and International Jazz Day continued to thrive--complete with a major all-star concert at the White House. Pop ...
Eyal Vilner Big Band: Almost Sunrise
by Jack Bowers
Suddenly, it seems, the state of Israel has become a focal point and incubator for contemporary jazz. A new wave of world-class musicians led by the three Cohens (not to be confused with Broadway's three Cohans) has crossed the ocean to plant the Israeli flag firmly in the midst of what was once considered an unassailable ...
Colonic Youth, Andy Farber, Tal Ronen & Paquito D'Rivera
by Martin Longley
Colonic Youth Trans-Pecos December 22, 2014 In the wintry wasteland, the new-ish Trans-Pecos venue did not seem to boast a particularly peachy set-up. It may or may not still be operated by Todd P, normally known as a promoter of slightly swerved rock outfits, and there were tales of this ...

Dan Block: Duality
by AAJ Italy Staff
Sembra un album manifesto, questo del sassofonista Dan Block, come i Duets di Lee Konitz con musicisti dall'origine musicale disparata, da Ray Nance a Karl Berger. Block si diverte allo stesso modo sia che suoni standards, originals o la musica di Dimitri Shostakovich. Impressionante quello che riesce a fare! Si parte con uno standard di Jerome ...

Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks Sofia's Restaurant New York, NY August 14, 2012 Vince Giordano receives well-deserved attention for the twenties and thirties repertoire he's brought to the radio on A Prairie Home Companion, films such as 2008's Revolutionary Road and 2004's The The Aviator, and most recently ...
Red Bank Jazz Orchestra: Red Bank Jazz Orchestra: Strike Up The Band!
by Craig Dowd
With the sheer number of ghost bands and regional orchestras currently active in America, many of which hold fast to the grave of sophisticated pre-war swing, the supply of tributes to our finest composers is never in jeopardy of being exhausted. But volume breeds vapidness, and most offerings to this province, with their prosaic interpretations and ...

by Hrayr Attarian
Most contemporary big band music is either of the heavily arranged, progressive jazz variety or the light-swing, Glenn Miller orchestral type played mainly for the benefit of nostalgic dancers. It is therefore refreshing to hear an ensemble that embraces the exuberance of mid-20th Century large groups and simultaneously delivers a bop-ish and elaborate sound.

by Jack Bowers
Dartstadter Big BandKentomaniaSelf Published2010 Of all the recorded tributes to the legendary Stan Kenton released during the centennial of his birth (2011), the Darmstadter Big Band's Kentomania (it's spelled that way on the jacket cover and disc) is unequaled for one reason alone: it has former Kenton ...
