Matt Wilson: Live at The Cafe Bohemia

by Mike Jurkovic
From its modest opening in 1955 until its closing in 1960, 15 Barrow Street in Greenwich Village, aka Cafe Bohemia, housed such progressive jazz creators as Oscar Pettiford, Horace Silver and Kenny Dorham.

The Burton/McPherson Trio: The Summit Rock Session at Seneca Village

by Jack Bowers
The Burton/McPherson Trio consists of tenor saxophonist Abraham Burton, drummer Eric McPherson and bassist Dezron Douglas.
