Eddie C. Campbell: Tear This World Up
by John Barron
A native of Duncan, Mississippi, guitarist/vocalist Eddie C. Campbell is one of the last of the originators of the West Side sound of Chicago blues still performing in their prime. Campbell began his recording career with a handful of singles in the sixties, but the record that put him on the blues map was King of ...

Josh Berman: Old Idea
by Troy Collins

Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Strings: Renegades
by Troy Collins
Chicago-based flutist, composer and bandleader Nicole Mitchell has presented her impressive skills in a wide range of contexts, from the intimate Indigo Trio with bassist Harrison Bankhead and drummer Hamid Drake to her flagship band, the Black Earth Ensemble. The later has demonstrated a remarkable ability to move from the eclectic modern jazz of Black Unstoppable ...
Red Holloway: Go Red Go!
by Nic Jones
For disingenuous reasons Go Red Go! is a good companion for Cy Touff and Sandy Mosse's Tickle Toe which Delmark reissued in 2008. Both albums offer up straight-ahead mainstream jazz of the most worthwhile order performed by men who know the territory inside out. The crucial difference between the two is that while Touff and Mosse ...
John Burnett Swing Orchestra: West of State Street/East of Harlem
by Ken Dryden
England native John Burnett has been a part of the Chicago jazz scene for some time. He presently hosts a weekday jazz radio program on WDCB and is also the conductor of his own Swing Orchestra (formed in 1999) which focuses on big band music of the '40s. Recorded live early last year ...
Garvin Bushell: One Steady Roll
by Nic Jones
Garvin Bushell's autobiography, published in 1988, is called Jazz From The Beginning. There's no hyperbole about that title considering he was a musician who worked with both Fletcher Henderson and John Coltrane. This session was recorded later in his life--in California in 1982--and the music hews closer to the Henderson model than it does the Coltrane, ...
John Burnett Swing Orchestra: West of the State Street, East of Harlem
by AAJ Italy Staff
Gioiosa ed ammiccante, la musica di questo CD scorre fluida e piacevole senza però lasciare tracce originali. La informa un disteso e compiaciuto mainstream, avente per modello le grandi orchestre swing bianche e nere degli anni '40. Con perizia tecnica e fedeltà assoluta al modello, l'ensemble guidato da John Burnette si muove calligraficamente nella vasta letteratura ...
AA.VV.: 55 Years of Jazz (CD+DVD)
by AAJ Italy Staff
55 anni di intensa attività discografica sono tanti, forse troppi per essere documentati in unico CD audio. Un'iniziativa editoriale che desta qualche perplessità sul piano della selezione discografica, nel privilegiare la contemporaneità a discapito della sua gloriosa storia. Dei 13 brani proposti, solo cinque sono anteriori alla decade degli anni '90, che invece imperversa a tutto ...
Rob Mazurek Quintet: Sound Is
by Troy Collins
Currently residing in Brasilia, Brazil, but making frequent returns to his hometown of Chicago, cornetist Rob Mazurek is the quintessential international artist, and one of the Windy City's most prolific scene leaders. A former hard bop prodigy, Mazurek long ago took the road less traveled, developing into one of today's most creative sound sculptors. Moving beyond ...
