Mort Weiss: Raising the Bar: The Definitive Mort Weiss
by Samuel Chell
In late 2006, clarinetist Mort Weiss told his unusual story to R. J. Deluke in an exclusive interview for All About Jazz, appropriated titled “Mort Weiss: Sets Sail with Clarinet." His narrative is the timeless, archetypal journey of the hero's circular route to hell and back--much like that of Homer's legendary mariner, Ulysses, except that in ...
Mark Weinstein: Timbasa
by Woodrow Wilkins
First came the transition from trombonist to flutist. Then came the transition to Latin jazz. For Mark Weinstein, a confluence of worlds has become modus operandi. Brooklyn-born Weinstein's experience has included a fusion of post-bebop music with traditional Afro-Cuban drumming. As a trombonist, he worked with Chick Corea, Cal Tjader, Tito Puente, Maynard Ferguson, ...
For Latin Lovers: Mark Weinstein, Claudio Roditi, Emilio Solla
by J Hunter
In many ways, the description “Latin jazz" is no more useful than the umbrella description “jazz." There are sub-genres inside the sub-genre, all of them with subtle color changes that provide different flavors, even though it all can lead to the same satisfying result. Here are three early 2010 entrants into this musical conversation.
Sizhukong: It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got That Oon
by Ian Patterson
It is something of a paradox that the western world knows so relatively little about modern China, even as the awakening giant's influence in the world is increasing. Who knows exactly what music is fermenting in its endless metropolises and among its multitude of ethnicities? Who knows what musical experiments and innovations are exciting passions and ...
David "Fathead" Newman: The Blessing

Claudio Roditi: Impressions
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
This CD is not for Coltrane purists: they might be horrified when the master's compositions ride in on a Brazilian beat. But for those who are merely fans, Impressions offers a tuneful and intriguing alchemy, as classics like “Moment's Notice," “Naima," and “Giant Steps" are interpreted by a top Carioca quintet. This is especially enjoyable when ...
