Diane Monroe: Bridging Diverse Musical Worlds
by Victor L. Schermer
Listening to Diane Monroe play jazz violin--whether solo, duo, or in a group--what's immediately evident is how great an improviser she is, fitting seamlessly with the music and the group, breathing and moving with the music.

Lajos Dudas: 50 Years With Jazzclarinet: The Best Of Lajos Dudas
by Dan Bilawsky
The music of Hungarian-born clarinetist Lajos Dudas doesn't fall under a neat little heading.

The question goes: Does he have the same axe? It's a philosophical question that deals with how parts interrelate with a whole. Now imagine ...
Josh Roseman: Reimagining the Constellations
by R.J. DeLuke
Josh Roseman is a busy man. Extremely busy. He's also an extremely bright one, which is good because otherwise one might pause to consider whether, with all those activities, he is wearing himself too thin. Turns out he is spreading wide, but nothing about him or his many pursuits is thin. Especially not his creativity.
James Zollar: Zollar System
by Raul d'Gama Rose
