Andrew Hill: Passing Ships
by A. Henkin
Andrew Hill Passing Ships Blue Note 2003 The history of Blue Note Records is in many ways the history of the golden age of jazz. When Blue Note changed, the whole face of jazz changed. After releasing classic sides one after another for much of the '60s, Blue ...
Cedric Im Brooks & The Light of Saba
by AAJ Staff
Cedric Im Brooks & The Light of Saba Cedric Im Brooks & The Light of Saba Honest Jons Records 2003 Horns have almost always been delegated a background role in Jamaican music, and even as such not a particularly interesting one anyway. Guitars and keyboards have historically been far more ...
Miles Davis Boxes: Jack Johnson and At The Blackhawk
by Doug Collette
If Legacy's ongoing Miles Davis reissue program has proved anything, it’s that there’s never too much of the man’s music. And that goes for scholars as well as fans, because the insight offered into the man with the horn’s creative process is an invaluable tool for understanding not just how Miles worked with musicians and producers, ...
Barbara Sfraga: Under The Moon
by AAJ Staff
Barbara Sfraga is one of those rare artists who is developing her own voice and style more and more with each recording. Her vocals contain elements of two of my favorite vocalists: Mark Murphy and Kitty Margolis. She is a risk taker that has established her own group sound on this new release. Each member of ...

Van Morrison: What's Wrong With This Picture?
by Alexander M. Stern
Van Morrison has always been difficult to categorize. He straddles a line between Hank Williams, Sr. and William Blake; between W. B. Yeats and Muddy Waters. He’s Ireland’s rock and roll saint; a genuine rhythm and blues Rimbaud. He’s Jack Kerouac on the road to Belfast. Looking back on Morrison’s long and storied ...
Jeff Beck: Jeff
by Doug Collette
Ever since his days with The Yardbirds, Jeff Beck has positioned himself as an experimentalist with the electric guitar. Through his pioneering days as a heavy rocker (Truth, Beck-Ola) as well as his groundbreaking fusion efforts (Blow by Blow, Wired), the iconoclastic Brit has displayed almost a tangible hunger to find new sounds. Little surprise then ...
The Modern Jazz Quartet: The Music Inn
by Elliott Simon
...in our desire for beauty in all things we are open, and one in our search for that little city of gold where the flute-player never wearies, and the spring never fades, and the oracle is not silent, that little city which is the house of art, and where, with all the Music of the Spheres, ...
