Roger Rosenberg: Baritone Madness
by John Coltelli
It was a late morning in a junior high school located in Long Beach, New York when a lonely, rarely used baritone saxophone chose an adolescent student named Roger Rosenberg as its sole and rightful owner. Moved by his music teachers' offer that whoever was willing to learn the instrument could own it, the youthful student ...

Why George Russell Will Always Live in Time
by Raul d'Gama Rose
A measure of just how underrated a musician he was in his lifetime is reflected in the fact that even three days after he passed on most of the major publications had not even reported his death, much less celebrated his life in the glowing terms that he so richly deserved. Perhaps this was because oddly ...
Steve Kuhn: Shimmering Beauty
by Maxwell Chandler
This interview was originally published on All About Jazz on March 2, 2009. Whether it is in his trio, collaborating with vocalists or accompanying an orchestra, pianist Steve Kuhn has always managed to effortlessly defy and combine genres. Whether it is an older recording or one of his newer albums, an inherent ability to ...
Ran Blake: Lurking in the Shadows
by Tod Smith
If you close your eyes while listening to Ran Blake's Driftwoods (Tompkins Square, 2009), you may find yourself transported into the grainy, low-key black and white world of a 1940s or '50s classic noir film. Try to leave the theater and something quietly, without much fanfare draws you back into the story. This is the music ...
Burgstaller Martignon 4: Mozart's Blues Dreams & Other Crossover Fantasies
by Dan McClenaghan
When the name Mozart is part of the title of a jazz disc, combined with the word blues, the safe bet is that it's a crossover listening experience at hand. Crossover is a newer term for the mix of classical and jazz sounds, but it works as well--better perhaps--than the Third Stream tag that was coined ...
Three of a Perfect Pair
by Chris M. Slawecki
For the past decade or thereabouts, I've tried to organize “From the Inside Out" around one theme, to address in one column the different ways that different musicians perform on the same instrument, or in the same style or genre. But if there's one lesson that life seems intent on teaching, it's that music (like life) ...
Bombay Dub Orchestra: 3 Cities
by Chris M. Slawecki
In the 1950s, some of the first waves of a “third stream" music flowed through the works of Gunther Schuller, John Lewis, and others working to harmonize the traditions of American classical (jazz) and European classical music. Thanks to communication technology, the world has grown both bigger and smaller in the decades since passed. Today, visionary ...
