by C. Michael Bailey
What does it take to move music from the strictly aural to revealing the more tactile elements like texture and consistency?

Frank Tiberi: The Thundering is Still Heard
by Jim Worsley
The term “ninety-two years young" is a bit cliché, but if the shoe fits (oops, another cliché). Saxophonist Frank Tiberi (pictured above playing with saxophonist and long time friend George Garzone to the left) spoke with the verve and energy of a much younger man.

Frank Tiberi, Joe Lovano and George Garzone: Tiberian Mode
by Jim Worsley
While the three tenor saxophone soloists with piano, bass, and drums was already a proven sextet formula, the Tiberian Mode is one of vast reproportioning and accelerated creativity.

Such duos have become harder to find in recent years but here are two newer examples. Jeff Rupert / ...
Dan Jonas: The Spirituality Suite
by Jack Bowers
Utah-based trumpeter Dan Jonas says The Spirituality Suite was written as a response to his own struggles with spirituality in the twenty-first century.
