Swingadelic: Toussaintville

Read "Toussaintville" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


It's tempting to say that the great Allen Toussaint is a musical phoenix who rose out of the ashes of a Katrina-ravaged New Orleans, but that's not really true. Toussaint wasn't reborn when his city was in ruins; people just started to wake up and take notice of him again in the wake of that tragedy. ...

Take Five with Aruan Ortiz

Read "Take Five with Aruan Ortiz" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Meet Aruan Ortiz: Named “the latest Cuban wunderkind to arrive in the United States" by BET Jazz, this classically trained violist and pianist from Santiago de Cuba, considers himself “a curious person who loves music," and portrays his music as an architectural structure of sounds, incorporating contemporary classical music, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and improvisation as primary material ...

Charles Lloyd: Quartets

Read "Charles Lloyd: Quartets" reviewed by John Kelman


ECM's Old & New Masters Edition series was not just created to bring material back into print. Some has been available on CD before, but an even bigger carrot for fans of the label is material that has never been on compact disc, like bassist Arild Andersen's three 1970s recordings, collected on Green in Blue (2010), ...

Bill Frisell: Live Download Series #1-13

Read "Bill Frisell: Live Download Series #1-13" reviewed by John Kelman


DS#001-013 | DS#014-017One of the biggest problems facing contemporary jazz musicians is that they often have far more projects on the go than could ever be recorded and released commercially by conventional record labels--even small and relatively responsive indie labels.

È possibile che da ingredienti più o meno eterogenei come jazz, soul, leider tedeschi, musica classica, klezmer, rock, folk, ragtime, e funk si possa perseguire un percorso artistico-intellettuale in ...

Read "Numerology: Live At Jazz Standard" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Numbers and music are inextricably linked together. Numbers exist within every musical impulse and control the very nature of music through their connective ratios and relationships.
