Don Ellis: How Time Passes to Essence Revisited
by Angelo Leonardi
Nelle storie del jazz Don Ellis è ricordato principalmente per l'innovativa big band che guidò per un decennio, dalla metà degli anni sessanta. Questa preziosa riedizione ci rammenta i suoi inizi di carriera, quando esplorava nuove soluzioni a partire dalla tromba: accoppia il suo debutto in quartetto (...How Time Passes...) dell'ottobre 1960 con alcuni brani di ...

by Jack Kenny
Song For Someone The Musical Life of Kenny Wheeler Brian Shaw and Nick Smart (Foreword by Dave Holland ) 509 Pages ISBN: # ISBN-13- 978-178179 Equinox Publishing Prising apart the complex nature of Kenny Wheeler is a worthwhile task.

Nicola Miller: Living Things
by Mike Jurkovic
It is more than fair enough to say that Nova Scotia-based saxophonist/composer Nicola Miller's vision and understanding of things is peppered with oddly curious axioms and an astute ear for the undertow that pulls us all further out to sea or crashing into the breakers. At least that is what Living Things, Miller's first bold ...

Gravity and Resurgence: The Many Dimensions of Dexter Gordon
by Arthur R George
Long Tall Dexter; swinger, bebopper, saxophone balladeer; acting the dissipated genius expatriate who was not unlike himself in the movie Round Midnight; his dressed-up persona “Society Red;" the laconic elder statesman of his later years. Dexter Gordon is all those things, but more than a kaleidoscope of caricatures. Those who trace their lineages through ...
Noah Preminger: Ballads
by Jack Kenny
Noah Preminger is a philosophical, thought-through artist who can gauge the impact of his playing and his thinking on his intended audience. It is interesting to compare Preminger's Ballads to John Coltrane's Ballads (Impulse!, 1963), an illuminating set of familiar tunes that was reputedly instigated after his quartet's first tour of Europe, with Eric Dolphy in ...
Fantasy Box Set League
by Patrick Burnette
Box sets are back, baby! Some of us old timers thought they might be gone for good after the CD crash (remember when Joe Henderson's The Milestone Years was going for twenty-bucks at your local mall?)

The Jazz Kissa Owner: Danny de Zayas
by B.D. Lenz
When you read the title of this column there's a good chance you asked yourself, “what the heck is a jazz kissa?" I had never heard of them either until a recent interview I did with photographer Philip Arneill about his photo collection dedicated to the dying institution that is the jazz kissa (read that interview ...
