Frank Hewitt: Fresh from the Cooler

Read "Fresh from the Cooler" reviewed by Christopher Shoe

by Christopher Shoe

There are few things in this world that the jazz lover can compare to that of hearing a live performance. There is a type of audience participation that is lacking when he sits at home and listens to the album. Perhaps he even finds himself wondering what it would be like to be left alone with ...

The Frank Hewitt Quintet: Four Hundred Saturdays

Read "Four Hundred Saturdays" reviewed by Eric J. Iannelli

Such was the way of life for ...

Big on Smalls

Read "Big on Smalls" reviewed by Eric J. Iannelli

by Eric J. Iannelli

Smalls (aka Fat Cat in its present incarnation) was one of many New York jazz clubs engendered following the repeal of lingering Prohibition-era laws in 1988.
