Dave Holland: Prism
by John Kelman
Two instruments that bassist Dave Holland has rarely incorporated into his projects have been piano and guitar, his only guitar-centric album coming sixteen years after his first release as a leader, Conference of the Birds (ECM, 1973), when he recruited Kevin Eubanks for a particularly powerful set on Extensions (ECM, 1989). It took Holland even longer--nearly ...
Julian Lage: Living Lage
by Dan Bilawsky
It's good to be Julian Lage. The former wunderkind is all grown up and living large, playing with some of the best musicians on the planet; that makes perfect sense, considering he's also one of them.

As such, longtime Holland fans will receive a major shock with their first listen to Prism. Those fans will need open ears and ...

by John Kelman
Fondazione Siena Jazz Summer WorkshopSiena, ItalyJuly 24-August 7, 2013While there are those who continue to suggest that the death knell for jazz has been sounded--and loudly--they're clearly not looking at the vast number of young musicians studying the music, both privately and, increasingly, in university programs.
