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. La stima di cui godeva era già tale da rendere il suo esordio discografico un vero e proprio evento. A differenza di quanto normalmente avveniva per le opere prime, Takin Off (Blue ...
Tubby Hayes: Split Kick - Live In Sweden 1972
by Bruce Lindsay
The hits, as various unimaginative DJs keep reminding us, just keep on coming. So, too--or so it appears--do new albums of material from the late Tubby Hayes. Some of these Hayes albums are re-releases, some are “special editions" and some present us with previously unreleased tracks. Split Kick -Live In Sweden, 1972 is an example of ...
U.S. Army Blues: Live At Blues Alley
by Chris M. Slawecki
Times have surely changed since The U.S. Army Blues was founded in 1942 (as “Pershing's Own," the Army Dance Band) to entertain soldiers and civilians in combat zones during WWII. But this Blues band has managed to keep pace, and has performed at the Monterey and Montreux Jazz Festivals and at New York City's hallowed Birdland, ...

Leonieke Scheuble's Journey Into The Art Of Jazz
by David A. Orthmann
The setting is a living room in a suburban northern New Jersey home. For the most part, it's filled with things not necessarily available at the furniture outlets that line the local highways. An upright piano takes up most of the wall adjacent to the front door. A harpsichord spans the area between the entrances to ...
Charlotte Jazz Orchestra: Uptown Down
by Jack Bowers
Uptown Down is the second album by the Charlotte (NC) Jazz Orchestra, a credibly proficient ensemble for a city that size. Unlike its earlier, in-house endeavor, this one is intended for public consumption; also unlike its sequestered debut, the CJO has chosen this time to intersperse its half-dozen instrumentals with vocals by Renee Ebalarosa. Is that ...
Horace Silver: Serenade to a Soul Sister - 1968
by Marc Davis
Is it possible to love an album for just one song? I think I do. Serenade to a Soul Sister is the happy marriage of jazz's funkiest pianist (Horace Silver) with its most soulful saxman (Stanley Turrentine). Throw in a fabulously underrated trumpeter with a big fat tone (Charles Tolliver) and you've got one ...

Trombonist Reggie Watkins's "Avid Admirer: The Jimmy Knepper Project" Set For July 15 Release
Trombonist Reggie Watkins had the opportunity to meet trombone master Jimmy Knepper just once, shortly before Knepper’s death in June 2003. Watkins was performing in his native Wheeling, WV with Maynard Ferguson’s Big Bop Nouveau Band, and Knepper, himself a Ferguson alumnus, was in the audience. The older musician complimented Watkins after the concert and shook ...
Todd Barkan: Early days of Keystone Korner
by Todd Barkan
In the summer of 1972, at the age of 25, I was working by day as a Customs Broker for the venerable San Francisco firm of Hoyt, Shepston & Sciaroni, and by night as a jazz pianist and arranger for an Afro Cuban jazz band called Kwane and the Kwandito's, which played a lot of the ...
