Curtis Counce: You Get More Bounce With Curtis Counce!

When bassist Curtis Counce died of a heart attack at the age of 37 in 1963, the jazz world was deprived of a major talent.

Karl-Henrik Ousbäck: Confluence
by C. Andrew Hovan

Cory Weeds Quartet: Just Coolin'
by Jack Bowers
Although Cory Weeds spends much of his time promoting and recording other jazz artists, he does manage to place those tasks on the back burner every once in a while to blow his own horn, so to speak—which he does about as well as anyone else on today's scene.
