Musician

Don Cherry

Born:

Don Cherry was born in Oklahoma City, OK in 1936 and raised in Los Angeles, where he first began to play the trumpet and later piano. According to Cherry, his upbringing had everything to do with his interest in music: "Yeah, well I was fortunate to have such great parents…because they've always been around music. My Father was a bartender, and he was very much into the music of the swing period. That whole groove of music and ballrooms and dance and what it meant in the late 30's and up into the 40s. So I was raised around all that type of music. But what was happening after especially moving to Watts, what was happening in our neighborhood, there was musicians…Dexter Gordon, Wardell Grey, Sonny Criss, all these people that were from the neighborhood…and what was happening in rhythm and blues…" Don cut his teeth on bebop, like most young musicians of his generation

Paul Bley Trio: Floater & Syndrome The Upright Piano Sessions Revisited

Read "Floater & Syndrome The Upright Piano Sessions Revisited" reviewed by Giuseppe Segala


Il catalogo Revisited Series dell'etichetta ezz-thetics si va facendo sempre più nutrito, attingendo a storiche registrazioni prese da cataloghi internazionali e focalizzandosi spesso su caposaldi a cavallo tra gli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta.

Josh Rosen: Beneath the Radar

Read "Josh Rosen: Beneath the Radar" reviewed by Steve Plever


They say that a college teaching gig has become the new record contract. Pianist Josh Rosen's 30+ years on the Berklee College of Music faculty have indeed made a career in music possible, but the downside is that without record label promotion, few outside of Boston have heard of him. Perhaps this review of two of ...

Jazz em Agosto Gulbenkian Foundation Lisbon, Portugal August 1-10, 2025 Despite the “onda de calor" which hit it, Lisbon remains as peaceful as ever in its saturnine routine--even though invasive tourism in the Baixa neighborhood has already changed its appearance, and not for the better.

Take Five with vocalist Diana Hamilton

Read "Take Five with vocalist Diana Hamilton" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Meet vocalist Diana Hamilton I'm an instinctive artist--meaning, I didn't choose to be a singer. Singing chose me. It began during a moment of deep torment when my three-year-old son, Nairobi, was subjected to racism at a daycare in France. I had never experienced such cruelty growing up as a Black child in the Bahamas. I ...

Freedom Art Quartet: First Dance

Read "First Dance" reviewed by Carl Medsker


Raucous, brash and freewheeling, First Dance by The Freedom Art Quartet is rooted in the past yet fresh and contemporary. The album should sound familiar to those who have ventured outside the mainstream and spent time with Ornette Coleman and the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. Those forces are strong in the band, but labeling them retro ...
