by John Sharpe
In No Coming No Going, the Lithuanian NoBusiness imprint has unearthed a real gem, as part of its continuing exhumation of the New York 1970s loft scene.

John Coltrane: The Atlantic Years in Mono
by C. Andrew Hovan
Much has been made lately in audiophile circles about whether mono or stereo versions of vintage back catalog items best represent the truest form of the music.

Umbria Jazz Winter 23
by Libero Farnè
Orvieto 30.12.2015-03.01.2016 Per certi aspetti abbiamo assistito a un'edizione in tono minore per Umbria Jazz Winter, soprattutto dal punto di vista dell'originalità dell'offerta.

Ornette Coleman
by John Eyles
June 11th 2015 was one of those momentous days in jazz history that can truly be said to signal the end of an era--it was the day Ornette Coleman died. It is a mark of his stature that, on the day in question, when jazz fans told each other, “Ornette is dead" no-one ever asked, “Ornette ...
