Marie Kruttli: What Do I Miss
by Geno Thackara
There's a usual time-tested path so many musicians go through in their early phases: learn how to play, take examples from one's favorites or influences, continue absorbing the elements and mechanics of what they do, then take some time processing all those things and (hopefully) eventually spinning them into one's own voice or style.

by Budd Kopman

by Victor L. Schermer

A good jazz bassist keeps good time and gets the chords right, but a great bassist, going as far back as Jimmy Blanton, Scott LaFaro, Charlie Haden, or Jimmy Garrison, catches your ear because you're surprised and moved by what ...
Herbie Hancock: The Blue Note Albums
by Maurizio Zerbo
Risale al 1962 il primo disco di Herbie Hancock, già distintosi al fianco di Donald Byrd come pianista equilibrato e raffinato, di sicuro affidamento.

Columbia Years 1968-1969
by Maurizio Comandini
La piccola ma intraprendente casa discografica statunitense, Light in the Attic, in collaborazione con la major Sony/Columbia, piazza un uppercut formidabile che toglie il velo ad uno dei misteri meglio preservati della discografia del secolo scorso. Vengono infatti pubblicati per la prima volta i cinque brani che Betty Davis, nata Betty Mabry e sposata con Miles ...

Miles Davis: In Time, All Changes
by Mark Werlin
Considered the most influential small jazz group of the middle 1960s, the Miles Davis “Second Great Quintet" has often been imitated but never equaled. Critical consensus holds that the revival of jazz in the 1980s was inspired by the six albums the Quintet recorded from 1965-1968. But a set of particular cultural and personal dynamics shaped ...
