Read "Kalamazoo" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


How is it that we haven't been gifted a live album from trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis before?

B.J. Jansen: Common Ground

Read "Common Ground" reviewed by Matthew Aquiline


Cincinnati-born baritone saxophonist B.J. Jansen's tenth album is titled Common Ground for good reason: his sextet consists of NEA Jazz Master trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, drummer Ralph Peterson, trumpeter Duane Eubanks, pianist Zaccai Curtis, and bassist Dezron Douglas--all of whom revel in improvisation.

No two people feel, sing, or play the blues exactly the ...

Hentoff helped pave way for jazz journalism’s acceptance

Read "Hentoff helped pave way for jazz journalism’s acceptance" reviewed by Jim Trageser


Nat Hentoff's passing last week left me feeling, well, old.
