Danilo Perez: Cultural Ambassador and Music Humanitarian
I have no idea who adjudicates the MacArthur Foundation's annual Fellowships, aka the “Genius" awards, but if you do... please recommend an eminently worthy candidate: pianist-composer-educator Danilo Perez. What Danilo has done in his native Panama in the name of music education for disadvantaged children is nothing short of miraculous. And that doesn't even take into ...

Since its inception, All About Jazz has delivered exhaustive coverage with some of the most extensive, in-depth interviews anywhere. AAJ will continue to provide the same degree of feature-rich coverage (e.g. Jack DeJohnette Week), but for those artists who have already received the “in-depth" treatment, our new Catching Up With column will allow us to revisit ...
Trumpeter Terell Stafford Interviewed at All About Jazz

Interview: Arno Marsh (Part 2)
On the phone, Arno Marsh sounds the way he plays. There's a smoothness to his voice, and the cadence of his words swings. Swinging, in general, is a lost art. Those who came up in the '40s and '50s have a real knack for it. When they start blowing,they slip right into the groove, with that ...
Interview: Arno Marsh (Part 1)
If you were a superb musician back in the 1940s and lived in a city or moved to one, you were likely going to find yourself auditioning for a name band pretty quickly. But for every great musician who wound up in a major orchestra, there were hundreds of others who remained in their smaller home ...

Parlare con Giovanni Tommaso è come sfogliare un'enciclopedia del jazz; si ha solo l'imbarazzo della scelta di quali argomenti approfondire. Nato a Lucca nel 1941, Tommaso ha cominciato a suonare in pubblico alla metà degli anni Cinquanta. Da allora ad oggi il contrabbassista ha collaborato con innumerevoli protagonisti del jazz mondiale ed ha vissuto in prima ...

Chris McNulty emigrated to New York City, from her native home in Melbourne, Australia, in 1988. Since then she's released five recordings, with Waltz For Debby (Discovery, 1991) first introducing the Australian singer to American audiences. On that record, she wrote what would ultimately become the official, published lyrics to Miles Davis' classic “Blue in Green." ...
Lars Danielsson: Love is the Message
by James Pearse
Saturday night in an unusually mild December 2011 at Stockholm's premier jazz venue, Fasching, could only mean one thing: the place was heaving. As well as the unseasonable weather and the looming Christmas period, the reason so many festive Swedes were crammed in like tinned herring was to catch a rare glimpse of national hero Nils ...

Il ventiquattrenne pianista armeno è tra i musicisti più interessanti emersi di recente.
