Enjoy Jazz Festival: Days 7-10, October 26-29, 2009
by John Kelman
Days 1-2 | Day 3-6 | Days 7-10 | Days 11-12 The main purpose of visiting the Heidelberg/Mannheim/Ludwigshafen region may be for the music, but during the day there's plenty to see and do. Wandering around the old part of Heidelberg, it's difficult not to be moved by the profound sense of age, especially coming ...

by John Kelman
Days 1-2 | Day 3-6 | Days 7-10 | Days 11-12 Situated along the Neckar River in the central part of Germany, Heidelberg may seem like an unlikely place for a six-week jazz festival in the middle of the fall each year. But Enjoy Jazz, now in its eleventh year, has been bringing an ...
Lama: Look What You Made Us Do
by John Kelman
Its performance rattled more than a few cages at Punkt 2008, in Kristiansand, Norway. Still, Lama's debut, Guidebook to Lamaland (Spoon Train Audio, 2008), was really a solo album hiding beneath a group name, with the exception of one cathartic live track that featured the full group. Lama's sophomore disc, Look What You Made Us Do, ...

by John Kelman

In recent years, combining unparalelled extended technique on his instruments with equally ...

by John Kelman
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 For its fifth year, Punkt Festival's evening programming was, more than any other, organized around clearer thematic lines, although that still meant a considerably broader purview than most other festivals--and, of course, there was the occasional exception. The first day spotlighted up-and-coming talent; ...

by John Kelman
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 With the musical laboratory that's Punkt Live Remix, it's sometimes possible for a remix to actually surpass its source performance. With (for the most part) Punkt Co-Artistic Directors Jan Bang and Erik Honoré listening to each performance while it's in progress ...
Punkt Festival 2009: Day 1, Kristiansand, Norway, September 2, 2009
by John Kelman
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 ---> Every festival has its raison d'être, but the Kristiansand festival, in Norway, has many. It's primary definer is its “Live Remix" concept--where performances in Agder Theatre's main hall are immediately followed by live remixes of the performance just passed, with additional musicians interacting, ...

This Ain't No Ukelele: Jazz Guitarists Anthony Wilson, Daniel Santiago and John Pondel
by Martin Gladu
For better or worse, the electric guitar has generally projected an image of masculinity, a certain macho quality even. Perfect examples of this are the scenes involving Steve Vai's Jack Butler character in Walter Hill's Crossroads (Columbia Pictures, 1986). Cruelly demanding, the instrument has bruised many male egos and crushed their dreams of stardom and fame.
