Bob Sheppard: The Clark Kent of Jazz

by Jim Worsley
October 31, 2019

An unassuming bespectacled man in his mid-sixties walks on to the stage. In a band with stellar, famous, and maybe flashier musicians, one could be forgiven if they didn't even notice him right away. But as soon as Bob Sheppard presses a saxophone, clarinet, or flute onto his lips, he is super, man! An incredible musician ...

Bob James, David Sanborn, and Marcus Miller: The Lost Tour

by Jim Worsley
October 4, 2019

Backing a new record with a live tour is, of course, standard practice. So, a tour in support of Double Vision (Warner Brothers, 1986) would be nothing out of the ordinary. The Bob James and David Sanborn classic, that also features Marcus Miller and Steve Gadd, proved to be visionary in its scope and profound in ...

The New Golden Age of Jazz Radio

by Karl Ackermann
September 30, 2019

There was the Jazz Age, and later, the Golden Age of Radio. There was no golden age of jazz radio unless one considers the brief, ten-year reign of devolution when swing music dominated the airwaves. Think about this: New York City has not had a twenty-four-hour commercial jazz radio station in over ten years; decades longer ...

Grover Washington Jr.: Sacred Kind of Love: The Columbia Recordings

by Jakob Baekgaard
July 19, 2019

When saxophonist and composer Grover Washington Jr. (1943-1999) arrived at Columbia in 1986, he was already a fully formed artist. He had released a string of strong albums and had even landed a regular smash-hit with “Just the Two Us," his collaboration with singer Bill Withers. In other words, Washington had nothing to prove and could ...

My father, Anthony Ricci (Jan. 17, 1930 - Oct. 2, 2018), was a jazz aficionado. Between his extensive record collection and taking me to concerts, he introduced me to jazz at a young age and helped shape my taste in music. I doubt there would be an All About Jazz without him. In celebration of Dad, we present seven tunes from seven albums spanning seven days that he played at times throughout the years.

Enjoy!
