Eric Dolphy: A Deeply Dedicated Musician
by Nic Jones
In the forty years since his death Eric Dolphy's career has taken on a kind of substance that it never had in his lifetime. Partly this is due to the course jazz has taken within those forty years, one of the end results of which is a scene that in many ways is more conservative now ...
Eric Dolphy: Out to Lunch
by Trevor MacLaren
Eric Dolphy Out to Lunch Blue Note 1964 Being a Charles Mingus fanatic, I often ask the question, “Are you into Eric Dolphy?" To my appalled surprise, more often than not I get the response “Who?" That, my dear fellow jazzites, is totally unacceptable! For those of the ...
Eric Dolphy: This is Eric Dolphy
by Michael Davis
This oft-reissued set still makes an ideal stocking-stuffer for several reasons beyond Eric Dolphy's continuing iconic stature.

Top-notch material here, displaying the same buoyant sense of adventure and unerring swing ...

Ginsberg's 'America' and Jazz
by AAJ Staff
Current events, such as they are, prompted me to go back and re-read Allen Ginsberg's poem “ America ." There is much good literature on the relation between the Beat movement and jazz, I'll not try and revisit that topic here. I will however dwell on one characteristic all great jazz players' posses and which this ...
Social Skills
by AAJ Staff
We, as a society, are rapidly losing all of our important social skills. I'm not talking about etiquette things, like which one is the salad fork. I'm talking about the skills needed to have any type of meaningful interaction with our fellow human beings. Things seem to be conspiring to keep us more and more isolated. ...
