Under Review: The Not-So-Simple Art Of Book Reviewing

Read "Under Review: The Not-So-Simple Art Of Book Reviewing" reviewed by Duncan Heining

Biographies of major figures might command mid-four figure sales but even then come nowhere near troubling the best-seller tables in the New York Times or Guardian. On All About Jazz, between 900 book reviews ...

Freddie Hubbard: On Fire--Live From The Blue Morocco

Read "On Fire--Live From The Blue Morocco" reviewed by Jack Kenny

Kenny Dorham: Blue Bossa in the Bronx: Live from the Blue Morocco

Read "Blue Bossa in the Bronx: Live from the Blue Morocco" reviewed by Troy Dostert


On their 1955 live recording At the Cafe Bohemia (Blue Note), the Jazz Messengers' Art Blakey introduced his trumpet player, Kenny Dorham, as the “Uncrowned King," a title that was perhaps fitting at the time given Dorham's still-rising trajectory.
