by Ian Patterson
When Roy Haynes sat down at the tiny kit on the stage of the Everyman Theatre, during the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival in 2005, he shook his head ruefully and said, “Man, I feel like a midget!" Rising above the audience laughter, somewhere in the depths of the theatre, a voice replied, “Roy, you're a giant!" ...
Keith Jarrett: The Old Country: More from the Deer Head Inn
by Mario Calvitti
Già da alcuni anni l'attività pianistica di Keith Jarrett si è forzatamente interrotta per motivi legati alle condizioni di salute dell'artista, colpito da ictus, ma la sua musica continua a venire pubblicata con novità discografiche provenienti dagli archivi ECM, alternando le esecuzioni jazzistiche a quelle classiche con cadenza più o meno annuale. Questo nuovo album rappresenta ...

Steve Marcus, Miroslav Vitous, Sonny Sharrock, Daniel Humair: Green Line
by Joshua Weiner
Several decades into the jazz reissue boom, first on CD and now increasingly on vinyl, one might imagine the bottom of the barrel is being scraped, and that any newly rediscovered obscurities might at this point have been best left alone.
