Strata-East, James Brandon Lewis & Phil Haynes
by Maurice Hogue
Back in the '70s and '80s, flicking through the LPs at a favourite record store and finding the latest Strata East releases made the trip worthwhile.

Phil Haynes: Return to Electric
by Dan McClenaghan
The band Return to Forever was a seminal jazz fusion group led by pianist Chick Corea. The eponymous first album, on ECM Records, was released in 1972, opening doors for scores of other like-minded ensembles. Electricity was a main aspect of the move away from acoustic jazz.

Marc Copland: Dreaming
by Dan McClenaghan
Jazz man Marc Copland is known primarily for his piano albums, solo and trio outings. He is considered by some, rightly so, as the premier jazz pianist of our day, closer to the supple touch and refined harmony of Bill Evans than the bouncing, joyous near-bombast of Bud Powell. But he is no stranger to playing ...
