South African Pianist Jason Reolon Interviewed at All About Jazz...And More!
South Africa may well be in the midst of its third jazz renaissance. While the late 1950s saw the rise of legendary artists such as Kippie Moeketsi, Abdullah Ibrahim, and Philip Tabane, the early 1990s marked the emergence of trailblazers Moses Taiwa Molelekwa and Zim Ngqawana. The past five years have born witness to a surge ...
Courtney Bryan, Black composer, marches to the beat of her own drum
By Alicia Hall Moran “Musicians make decisions. They either support the status quo or break down barriers," says Courtney Bryan, a composer, pianist, academic and organist at Bethany Baptist Church in Newark, N.J., who prefers the latter. Born in New Orleans, Bryan soaked up the music of her Caribbean- and West African-based Anglican church and her ...
Latin Jazz Conversations: Jose Rizo (Part 3)
Bringing together a collection of master musicians often requires more than great music, it demands some sort of magnetic force. By the time that most musicians reach a high level of artistry, they've come to their own ideas and conclusions about their approach to performance. The individualized nature of music almost guarantees that a room full ...
Interview: Catherine Howe
You're about to learn about one of the finest female folk albums ever recorded. Not many people know about Catherine Howe's What a Beautiful Place (1971), largely because the album produced and arranged by Bobby Scott (A Taste of Honey) barely made a dent after it was recorded in London.

Something Else! Interview: Zigaboo Modeliste, Co-Founder of the Meters
Joseph “Zigaboo" Modeliste, a funky furnace that once powered the Meters, has just released a tour-de-force project aptly titled New Life. It reestablishes, perhaps unsurprisingly, Modeliste's claim to co-ownership of the band's late 1960s/early 1970s string of R&B and rock hits—from “Cissy Strut" and “Fire on the Bayou," to supporting gigs with Lee Dorsey, LaBelle and ...
Quentin Moore: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
by Chris M. Slawecki
Much has been recently written about the “graying" of jazz and the audience who listens to it, young musicians seem to continually discover (and rediscover) its enduring value--and not just the value of jazz as its own standalone genre, but the benefit of incorporating aspects of jazz, such as improvisation and arrangement, into music of every ...

Singer Roseanna Vitro Interviewed at All About Jazz!
While the back panel of vocalist Roseanna Vitro's The Music Of Randy Newman (Motéma, 2011) says “File Under: Jazz/Pop/Vocals," those labels don't do her justice. Vitro's vocals are a conduit to the very core of American music—from blues and rock to soul and jazz—and her recorded output over the past three decades speaks to her talents ...
