Bobby Broom: Modern Man
by Derek Taylor
Call it what you want, Soul Jazz, Organ Jazz, whatever, but the brand of music birthed by the B-3 explosion of the 1960s is alive and well in the third millennium. Blue Note’s new banner reads “One Label Under a Groove” and groups like Medeski, Martin and Wood, and Soulive continue the extract marketable material from ...

Kahil El'Zabar and Billy Bang: Spirits Entering
by AAJ Staff
As a ritual experience, music can be amazingly moving. That's a deep concept that American jazz players long ago absorbed from the traditions of West Africa. (Haiti and Cuba lie at the epicenter of this movement within the Western Hemisphere; but that's an entirely different tangent.) Free jazz veterans Kahil El'Zabar and Billy Bang improvise together ...
Ken Saydak: Love Without Trust
by Robert Jarovi
It’s got to be hard to make a living as a blues pianist in Chicago nowadays. The legacy of those born or based in the Windy City is enough to intimidate the best-intentioned pianist: Jimmy Yancey, Maceo Merriweather, Roosevelt Sykes, Little Brother Montgomery, Willie Mabon, Johnny Jones, Sunnyland Slim, or Otis Spann. How do you add ...
Steve Freund: I'll Be Your Mule
by Joe Milazzo
With a form as venerable and yet malleable as the blues, it is the manner of expression as much aswhatis expressed that carries a performer. Some may bristle at this idea, and say it places style above substance. But style, a personal sense of fashion, an idiosyncratic bearing... whatever you choose to call it, this quality ...
Cecil Payne: Chic Boom, Live At The Jazz Showcase
by David A. Orthmann
Although he'll always be known as the first baritone saxophonist to adapt the notoriously obdurate instrument to the complexities of bebop, some of Cecil Payne's finest music has been made during the most recent decade of his distinguished, 50-plus year career. Inspired by tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander and drummer Joe Farnsworth, two talented young players in ...
Franz Jackson & the Salty Dogs: Yellow Fire
by Derek Taylor
Traditional jazz has taken it on the chin of late in Chicago. Once a thriving epicenter for New Orleans and Dixieland revival bands the Windy City is now largely know for its acclaimed free jazz and avant rock scenes. In the larger scheme of the things the shift was slow in coming and unlike the demise ...
New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra: Grace And Beauty
by Mike Neely
In 1967, Swedish pianist, Lars Edegran, discovered a cache of early 20th century orchestrated ragtime music on a visit to New Orleans. John Robichaux was the arranger of this mysterious sheet music. Luckily for us, Lars Edegran knew a good thing when he saw it, resulting in the formation of the New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra. Shortly, ...
George Lewis: Hello Central
by Derek Taylor
New Orleans jazz doesn’t get much more authentic than George Lewis and his New Orleans Stompers’ faithfully rendered brand of traditional merry-making. Lewis and his colleagues recorded dozens of albums in dozens of settings, but their sound always remained at the root incorruptible and in its own sweet way sentimentally ecstatic. This reissue is no different ...
Scott Fields Ensemble: Mamet
by Derek Taylor
In search for vessels of influence beyond expected musical sources Wisconsin based guitarist Scott Fields has uncovered an intriguing fount of inspiration for his debut Delmark release in the dramatic work of modern American playwrights. Stripped down to power trio instrumentation, but often employing a diffuse long-winded approach Fields explores many of the same sound relationships ...
