Smalls Jazz Club: Live and So Much More
by Mark Corroto
After a few minutes talking with pianist Spike Wilner, Charlie Parker's quote about authenticity in music comes to mind: “If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn..." Actually, the entirety of Bird's thoughts best captures the art of Spike Wilner. Bird goes on to state: “They teach you there's a boundary line ...
Best Jazz Albums of 2010
For the music obsessed, every year has a musical identity that's colored by the new albums and songs that receive steady play on our various devices. I generally love doing these year-end things because it gives me a chance to go back to pieces that jumped out at the time. More than that, it's interesting to ...
Jazz Is For The Birds: An Aviary In Song
by Dan Bilawsky
In jazz--as in all else in life--different words mean different things to different people. The way we associate words or sounds with meaning is unique to the individual, but certain words tend to draw similar thoughts from within the jazz community. “Bird" is one such word.

Linda Oh: Persevering Against the Odds
by Mark F. Turner
In an arena that is overwhelmingly dominated by her male counterparts, bassist Linda May-Han Oh is going to be a force with which to be reckoned.

Ted Rosenthal Trio: Impromptu

As legend has it, the term “third stream" was invented by Gunther Schuller in 1957, to prevent jazz and classical fans from resenting incursions onto their turf by the other side. This new musical entity would be neither classical nor jazz, and not just a simple merging of the two: it would be more than jazz ...
53rd Monterey Jazz Festival: A Distinctive New Orleans Flavor
by Larry Taylor
To summarize the high spots of the 2010 Monterey Jazz Festival would certainly take more than one lead paragraph. From Sept. 17 through 19 at the Monterey, California, Fairgrounds, there was a pervasive New Orleans spirit in the air and the music. This was emphasized by the appearances of Trombone Shorty on Saturday afternoon, and Harry ...
Michael Formanek: The Rub And Spare Change
by John Kelman
With a discography that's growing with each passing year--expanding into territories new to both the label and music in general--it's difficult to understand the need for some to apply a reductionist stance to the music of ECM, whitewashing it with descriptions like “melancholy," or “Nordic cool." One listen to bassist Michael Formanek's ECM debut, The Rub ...
