Steve Smith: Drummer For All Seasons
by R.J. DeLuke
Drummer Steve Smith has traced the history of jazz drumming--pretty much most of American music drumming--in his storied career that has seen him drive big bands, small jazz combos, and fiery fusion groups, including tenures with Jean Luc Ponty and the rock band Journey. Though sometimes--as in the case of jazz-rock fusion--he was thrown ...
Oz Noy: The Twisted Wizardry Of Oz
by Ian Patterson
Any blues played by Oz Noy would have to be a little twisted.

Miles Davis: Legendary Concerts
by Chris May
Like the curate's egg, parts of trumpeter Miles Davis' 1980s recordings and performances were excellent, and others considerably less so.

Miles Evans: Two-Part Harmony
by Melanie Futorian
Trumpeter Miles Evans, like saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, has faced the plus/minus of being the son of a jazz icon--in this case, legendary composer/arranger/bandleader Gil Evans. But if Ravi's exposure to his father was cut short by the saxophonist's too-early demise in 1967, just shy of the youngster's second birthday, Miles had the opportunity to grow up ...
