Eddie Henderson: Everything Changes
by Ian Patterson
Eddie Henderson made his name in Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band in the early 1970s, at the dawn of jazz-fusion--a new frontier.

Crosara, for his part, plays both acoustic piano and Yamaha MODX-8 synthesizer on this absorbing, varied program of original ...
Lilian Terry: Forever Sisters Of The Soul - Renaissance Jazzwomen
by Kerilie McDowall
I was warmly accepted by a giant such as Duke Ellington during his last seven years. He chose to be my friend, demanding my annual presence during his concert tours in Europe as his “good luck charm," and as his sounding board for all the phrases he would dictate to me, to be used later in ...
Oscar Peterson: Con Alma
