Artie Shaw: The Money Band
In 1949, Artie Shaw needed money. He would later claim the cash infusion was sought to help settle back taxes owed. But alimony payments to novelist Kathleen Winsor, whom he had just divorced, were certainly a financial drain. Just a year earlier, Shaw had vowed never again to front a dance band, carping about having to ...
A Conversation with NEA Jazz Master David Baker
David Baker on the cello, which became his second instrument after an accident ended his trombone days. When friend and Jazz Education Network board colleague (and fine keyboardist in her own right) Monika Herzig—a proud Indiana University grad and student of National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master David Baker—asked me to contribute a chapter to ...
Anoushka Shankar: A Celebration of Joy
by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.
Anoushka Shankar is one of the rare artists whose attitude and creativity reflects her love, respect and appreciation for all people and cultures in the world today. This is contrary to traditional teachings and beliefs, which have historically taught patriotism for one's country and culture specifically. But Anoushka Shankar is not your typical contemporary artist. Certainly ...

Bobby Broom: Building a Legacy
by R.J. DeLuke
Guitarist Bobby Broom had a feel for music at a very young age. He was exposed first to clarinet and violin as a child, but they didn't have an impact on him. Eventually, an old guitar came through the household. It had four strings across an instrument with a small neck. “I didn't know ...
Il non-jazz di Giancarlo Schiaffini
by AAJ Italy Staff
A ottobre varcherà la soglia dei settant'anni ("Di soglie ne ho varcate parecchie - dice fra il serio e il faceto - e poi, essendo del '42, ho fatto persino un pezzo di guerra, sono una specie di reduce"). Intanto, Giancarlo Schiaffini, ha visto bene di dare alle stampe un libro il cui titolo, E non ...

La parola a Tim Berne
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il suo ultimo album, Snakeoil, sta convogliando su di lui nuove e pressoché plebiscitarie attenzioni, vuoi perché uscito per la ECM (il primo, a suo nome, per l'etichetta bavarese), vuoi perché si tratta di un'opera veramente notevole. Lui, Tim Berne, si è presentato a fine marzo a Bergamo Jazz alla testa del quartetto protagonista del lavoro, ...
Jasper Høiby: Phronesis and a Walk in the Dark
by Bruce Lindsay
"The visuals," says bassist Jasper Høiby about his band Phronesis, “are just the icing on the cake." The music is his primary concern, but it's undeniable that Høiby's Anglo-Scandinavian trio is one of the most visually striking outfits on the European scene. There's Høiby himself: tall, slim, blond and often rather intense looking, playing his double ...
Interview: Mike McCartney (Part 2)
In the late 1950s, Liverpool was thick with home-grown poets, writers and artists who revered American beat poets and painters. But because of Liverpool's geographic isolation from the main of England and Liverpudlians' fast, snappy brand of humor, the approach came with a wicked wit. Back in the early '60s, a serious intellect combined with an ...
