Chris Nordman Trio: High Wire
by Jack Bowers
Time was when people retired to Florida to bask in the sunshine, play some golf and tend their backyard gardens. That was then; this is now. Pianist and organist Chris Nordman, who has roamed the world for more than half a century as a working musician and now calls Florida home, has no plans to rest ...
Tom Kennedy: Stories From Behind and Beyond The Bass
by Jim Worsley
Tom Kennedy has never considered himself a prospector, but surely has tapped into a goldmine. As if releasing a hotshot new record wasn't enough, the world class jazz and fusion bassist is in compositional bliss with a bevy of new material yet to be recorded. Kennedy and I talk at length about his new writing technique ...

Tobias Grim: Spring 2020
by Mike Jurkovic
Locked down but cool, calm and collected in the midst of global strife, Swedish guitarist Tobias Grim and his equally cool, calm, and collected trio mates, bassist Magnus Bergström and drummer Adam Ross, took a couple of time suspended, life upended days in spring 2020 to jam on few new Grim tunes and some well-known standards ...

Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegun's Atlantic Records differs in one key respect from Prestige, Riverside, Impulse!, Strata-East and Flying Dutchman, the most prominent labels covered so far in this Building A Jazz Library series. Those labels' discographies consist almost exclusively of jazz. Atlantic had parallel interests in soul and rhythm-and-blues and, later, rock. This had consequences, as ...
John Scofield: One For Swallow
by Ian Patterson
From time to time in his storied career John Scofield will take a look over his shoulder and re-examine some of the music that has fed into his own, personal brand of jazz.

It's saxophonist Dave Glasser's most probing work to date, bound to both our present state of affairs and the history it mirrors, and ...
