Kuai Music: Moving Jazz Forward Collectively
by Jakob Baekgaard
The history of jazz is often told as an evolution propelled by great individuals whose singular sounds have helped to shape the aesthetic of the music. This is understandable since artists like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Miles Davis really DID influence the development of jazz and this is confirmed every time ...
Chris Washburne & The SYOTOS Band: Low Ridin'
by Dan Bilawsky
Originals, Latin classics, and the occasional standard appear on this outfit's five previous albums, all of which were released on the Jazzheads imprint. But a new day has dawned with Low Ridin', as venerable trombonist Chris Washburne and his smoking Latin ensemble arrive at a new label--Zoho Roots--and take a new tack, delivering a program of ...
Ron Aprea: Ron Aprea Pays Tribute to John Lennon and the Beatles
by Nicholas F. Mondello
The John Lennon-Paul McCartney canon has been recorded by everyone with the possible exception of “Honey Boo Boo" and “Mini Me."

The Pittsburgh Jazz Festival
by Nick Catalano
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Pittsburgh in the annals of jazz history. Just a few of the legendary names--Ahmad Jamal, Errol Garner, Mary Lou Williams, Billy Eckstine, Billy Strayhorn, George Benson, Ray Brown, Stanley Turrentine--are sufficient to raise the proverbial jazz fan eyebrows. I actually performed there in the halcyon days of bebop ...
Jazz Legends, in Their Words
Yesterday, producer Tommy LiPuma sent along a link to a documentary from the BBC featuring interviews with jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Lil Hardin, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie,Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald. The display is a bit pinched on the sides, but the joy and the music come through just the same. Here's the documentary... ...
