Gary Bartz Is Nobody's Jazz Musician
by Bridget A. Arnwine
Gary Bartz is nobody's jazz musician. What he has built and created as an artist with a career that spans six decades defies labels, especially ones that have storied racist connotations and otherwise derogatory origins like the word jazz. He is a composer of the finest order and as gifted as the most revered names in ...

Opa and The Blackbyrds: Coveted 1970s Jazz-Funk
by Mark Sullivan
Opa released only two albums before disbanding in the early 1980s.

Sun Ra: Live at the left Bank, Lights on a Satellite
by Stefano Merighi
La seconda metà degli anni Settanta vede l'Arkestra di Sun Ra già in un momento di bilanci. Vent'anni di attività, una parabola virtuosa che congiunge inizi avventurosi, incompresi, a sviluppi ricchissimi di idee, che oltrepassano sia il post-swing degli esordi che il free radicale, per planare in quello stile composito e stratificato, totalmente personale, ...

Their latest album is the homophone-titled Rong Weicknes (Fat Possum, 2024), which may or may not also be an oxymoron. Linguistics aside, this fantabulous collection of songs may well be the most ...

by Katchie Cartwright
Even on an old familiar tune like Charlie Chaplin's “Smile" (1936), it is clear from note one that Sharel Cassity is a child of Bird, an altoist in the modernist tradition of Charlie Parker. Her first influence was actually her biological father, an organist, with whom she shared the stage in New Orleans at age 11, ...

Your foot first parts a surface that's smooth and tranquil, but you can't really tell from that surface how deeply your foot must ...
