Michael Carvin: The Making of a Master
by Bob Kenselaar
With a career that spans half a century, master drummer Michael Carvin has plenty to look back on, although he's mostly a forward-looking man. To say he's been prolific puts it mildly. By his own count, he's made some 250 recordings and toured the world five times. He has worked with such major jazz luminaries as ...

Andrew Cyrille / Haitian Fascination: Route de Freres
by Raul d'Gama Rose
To experience ecstasy without the memory of it would certainly be a travesty. Fortunately, it may now be possible to have both--to have the near-perfect memory of being in the throes of ecstasy--and it is all because of the music on Route de Frères by Andrew Cyrille and Haitian Fascination. More specifically, it is because of ...

Negritudine sugli scudi, quindi, anche perché l'altro elemento schiettamente jazzistico del quintetto è quell'Hamiet Bluiett la cui prima visibilità rimanda all'estrema stagione mingusiana. Più Mingus, se proprio vogliamo (ricordiamo almeno l'"Haitian ...

Andrew Cyrille / Haitian Fascination: Route de Freres
by Dave Wayne
Despite all of the cross fertilization that's taken place over the decades between the US and the various island nations of the Caribbean, it could be argued that the jazz world hasn't really dealt with the music of Haiti in any fundamental way. Andrew Cyrille--who's drawn on his Haitian heritage throughout his career as a solo ...
