Michel Petrucciani: Kuumbwa
by Pierre Giroux
Michel Petrucciani's Kuumbwa is the type of release that reminds us why live jazz recordings still matter. This is not a vault-cleaning exercise, nor just a historical note. Recorded at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz, California, in 1987, it is now released by Elemental Music, first as an exclusive two-LP Record Store Day set, ...
Bill Evans: At The BBC 1965
by Joshua Weiner
Jazz 625 was a British television show, hosted by trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton, that ran from 1964 to 1966 on BBC2; the name comes from the higher-resolution 625-line UHF system that the station employed for broadcast.

Jack Kenny's Best Jazz Albums Of 2025
by Jack Kenny
A year is an arbitrary time. The list is chronological by how they came to me. The albums that still stand out are Bone Bells (Pyroclastic Records) by Sylvie Courvoisier and Mary Halvorson and the sheer professional expertise of Jed Levy Faces and Places (Self Produced). Both albums, in their different ways, exude creativity and joy. ...
Yusef Lateef: Atlantis Lullaby - The Concert from Avignon
by Stefano Merighi
Tra gli outsider del jazz più prolifici, Yusef Lateef fino alla scomparsa (a 93 anni nel 2013) ha continuato a comporre, incidere, sempre evitando con gentilezza di essere accostato alla parola jazz, inventando invece il termine “autophysiopsychic" per descrivere una musica che fin dagli anni Cinquanta ha messo in contatto molto seriamente la cultura asiatica con ...
Art Pepper: An Afternoon in Norway: The Kongsberg Concert
by Jack Kenny
This album is not just music; it is a glimpse into one of the most compelling stories in Art Pepper's musical history from the impossibly handsome alto saxophonist with Stan Kenton's orchestra to a drug-fueled inmate in San Quentin, culminating in a glorious renaissance. The sheer logistics surrounding this album are impressive. Consider this ...
