Ten Men
by C. Michael Bailey
My unscientific estimate contends that there are three female vocalists for every male vocalist. This does not mean that there are no male vocalists out there as evidenced by these ten examples. They just take a little longer to accumulate. Jay Leonhart and Tomoko Ohno Don't You Wish Chancellor Music
Richie Cole: Blue Collar Bebopper
by Rob Rosenblum
Jazz alto saxophonist Richie Cole wants to reach out to you, whether you are the mayor of a highly popular tourist city or just a guy dropping over for a couple of beers. “I play for people," says Cole. “People are all the same. If they understand or want to understand jazz, I welcome ...
Giacomo Gates: What Time Is It?
by Nicholas F. Mondello
2:02.75. That might have been what longshot “Giacomo" (at 50-1) took to win the Kentucky Derby back in 2005. However, it will take longer--just short of an hour--to realize that this thoroughbred Giacomo rides home a winner with What Time Is It?. Hold the oats and roses and grab the ear buds. Giacomo ...
Giacomo Gates: What Time Is It?
by Jack Bowers
What is it that separates a “jazz singer" from the wannabes? While many people are known as or call themselves jazz singers, only a handful truly merit the name. Giacomo Gates, whose latest album What Time Is It? is his seventh (and fourth for Savant Records), is one of the chosen few. Why? Well, as the ...
L'ultimo hipster. La vita e la musica di Mark Murphy
by Angelo Leonardi
Non trovate accenni a Mark Murphy nelle più recenti storie del jazz, neanche il nome. Una lacuna che appare inspiegabile (a differenza di Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormè e Tony Bennett) che si giustifica solo col ritardo a collocare il cantante di Syracuse in una prospettiva storica. Eppure già prima della sua scomparsa -il ...
Richie Cole Alto Madness Orchestra: The Many Minds of Richie Cole
by Rob Rosenblum
Alto saxophonist Richie Cole is a living, breathing anachronism and has arguably been one since he first burst out of Berklee School of Music onto the stage as featured soloist with the Buddy Rich big band in the 1970's. While many of his contemporaries were following the lead of Chuck Berry and The Beatles, ...
David L. Harris: Blues I Felt
by Dan Bilawsky
The blues isn't merely a form or genre. It's an emotional response, a personal internalization of an idea that invites extemporization in its reflection. While there's a specific progression and certain stylistic considerations that mark music as such, there's undeniable variety within the fixed aspects. No two people feel, sing, or play the blues exactly the ...

Camille Bertault: En Vie
by Angelo Leonardi
Un vivace talento, una vocalist che swinga con naturalezza come le grandi del passato, un'autrice matura. Non ancora trentenne Camille Bertault illumina la scena del canto jazz come solo Cécile McLorin Salvant ha fatto in questi anni, offuscando in un sol colpo decine di cantanti contemporanee. Questo sorprendente debutto discografico stupirà molti, anche quelli ...
Kevin Mahogany: The Vienna Affair
by Angelo Leonardi
Il numero dei cantanti jazz di sesso maschile è sempre stato esiguo rispetto al preponderante universo femminile, oggi più che mai. La recente scomparsa di Mark Murphy (il massimo vocalist moderno, già da qualche anno in semi-ritiro) ha accentuato la carenza anche se l'ingresso in scena di Gregory Porter ha portato una ventata d'aria ...
