Christopher Zuar Orchestra: Exuberance

Read "Exuberance" reviewed by Jack Bowers

Read "I dischi del 2024 secondo Angelo Leonardi" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Indico i dischi (sia italiani che stranieri) che ho più apprezzato e soprattutto amato nel 2024. Quelli che più mi hanno arricchito e appassionato, quelli che mi sono ritrovato a riascoltare spesso.

Jihye Lee Orchestra: Infinite Connections

Read "Infinite Connections" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

Some eighty-odd years ago a handful of trailblazers led by saxophonist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie changed the vocabulary of jazz, introducing bebop as a successor to trad jazz and swing and radically transforming the music's landscape and perspective.

Introducing Saxophonist Olivia Hughart

Read "Introducing Saxophonist Olivia Hughart" reviewed by Sanford Josephson

by Sanford Josephson

Growing up in Lower Merion, PA, a Philadelphia suburb, Olivia Hughart started playing jazz saxophone in middle school. “My parents were big music lovers," she recalled. “We were listening to music all the time. They're huge Yellowjackets fans, so we'd always listen to Bob Mintzer playing. Also, Dexter Gordon, Larry McKenna, Melissa Aldana, and Roxy Coss." ...
