Ali/Belogenis/Morris: Live At Tonic
by Mark Corroto
The first track “Invocation: Trane Is In The House,” of this January 2001 live date just about describes it all. This trio formed from the embers of the creative luminescence that was John Coltrane sears through a New York winter evening. Drummer Rashied Ali is familiar with this territory, having held the drum chair from 1965 ...
Carla White: The Sweetest Sounds
by Dave Nathan
Carla White has been a staple of vocal jazz for almost 20 years. Yet it's the same old story. No matter how talented - - and she is high on the talent list - - White has had trouble getting her art put to disk. She had to go to Mexico for her last CD. Now ...
Carla White: The Sweetest Sounds
by C. Andrew Hovan
During the period when jazz had reached a popular appeal unlike anything seen before or since, the idea of a woman vocalist fronting a big band was a fashionable and alluring notion.

This is a characteristic of many of pianist/pedagogue Lennie Tristano's pupils to a certain extent, ...
Br: Shadows
by Micah Holmquist
Peter Brötzmann is an impressive figure in more ways than one. To begin with, there is his status as a legend. From his 1968 debut Machine Gun to the present day, the German saxophonist has long stood for creativity and challenging conventions. Since then he has played with many of the great avant-garde masters such as ...
Lee Konitz: Some New Stuff
by Mark Corroto
Recently, I’ve rediscovered the music of Lee Konitz. Actually never lost, I just kind of never favored his sound. Till now. Maybe he has mellowed, or I’ve aged, but to my ears he has set aside attitude to favor beauty. Konitz, a Lennie Tristano disciple, has for years been undeservedly labeled with a cool-school moniker. His ...
