Trumpeter Dave Douglas Interviewed at All About Jazz...and More!
Since first leaping onto the scene as a member of John Zorn's Masada quartet, trumpeter Dave Douglas has emerged as one of modern jazz's freest thinkers, with a seemingly endless flow of ideas.

La logica agogica di Cuong Vu
by AAJ Italy Staff
Intevista di Ian Patterson Sebbene New York sia la culla della migliore produzione jazzistica Statunitense, giungono vivaci segnali di nuove esperienze anche da altre città.

Dave Douglas: A Creative Consciousness
by Dave Wayne
Considering trumpeter Dave Douglas' musical career, one word that comes to mind is “consistency." Sure, he's led a dizzying variety of bands playing in all sorts of styles.

I've posted on the song in the past here and here. I'm sort of torn between Cilla Black's version and the one Dionne Warwick recorded. Black's has that ...
Yoko Miwa: New Star in an Old Sky

Self-effacing but with healthy ambition--and genuinely glamorous--pianist Yoko Miwa is a shimmering study in contrasts. Her music is loyal to sources and roots, yet it is fresh and sexy.

Interview: Burt Bacharach (Part 2)
Pulling into Burt Bacharach's driveway a few weeks ago in Los Angeles, I looked in the open garage. There, parked neatly, was a relatively new white Jaguar XJ12—exactly the kind of car I had imaged Burt would drive: Sporty, comfortable, powerful and, once upon a time, English-made. Entering his ranch-style home, I waited in his music room ...
