Joey Calderazzo: Improviser in Top Form
by R.J. DeLuke
Creative musicians are generally an insightful lot: people that have curious minds but also have a sense of direction--a sense of purpose, if not a search for it. They express what they see, what they experience. Pianist Joey Calderazzo is among those. A man of extraordinary talent at the keyboard, he's held the piano ...
Chasing Paradise with Great American Taxi
By Dennis Cook It's hard to imagine someone not liking Great American Taxi. In their bone structure and general jiggle, GAT is a modern equivalent to Little Feat, Los Lobos and the Grateful Dead—i.e. bonhomie rich, barroom ready rockers with a healthy facility with twangy stuff, all anchored to quality songwriting, playing and presentation. The Taxi ...
Mindi Abair: Defining the ‘It’ Factor
by Trish Richardson
It. What is It? How does one know if one has It? And more importantly, where does one get It? It. Such a small, unassuming word, barely taking up any space on the page. But just what is It? It. It is that almost indefinable, though easily recognizable “X" factor. It's quite ...
Stefano Bollani: And Now For Something Completely Different
by Ian Patterson
Impersonating singer Paolo Conte and other Italian cultural icons comes as naturally to pianist Stefano Bollani as interpreting the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim, Michael Jackson, Brian Wilson, or Maurice Ravel--or indeed, writing novels. To say that Bollani is multitalented is a bit like saying Art Tatum could play the piano a bit. Oh, and Bollani ...

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. Over nearly 20 years, he's created an almost unparalleled number of memorable groups, including Keystone, Charms of the Night Sky and Tiny Bell ...
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. David Binney, sassofonista e Newyorchese di lunga data, ha di recente espresso il desiderio di passare più tempo a Los Angeles, della quale dice: “sta succedendo qualcosa laggiù." Anche più a ...
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. Yet, of the 30-odd recordings he's led, not one veers from the central mission of presenting challenging, original jazz. An inveterate musical risk taker, Douglas has always led ...
