Nestor Zurita Saxophonist and Teacher by James Cubby on July 05, 2011
Saxophonist Nestor Zurita shares his talents when he performs onstage but it's a special person who can teach another to play a musical instrument. While Nestor taught himself to play the saxophone, most aren't as quick to pick up an instrument and teach themselves to play-not like Nestor Zurita anyway. Miami locals are familiar with Nestor ...
Intervista a Carlo Costa
by AAJ Italy Staff
Carlo Costa è un batterista che ha scelto di trasferirsi a New York per respirare e nutrirsi degli stimoli che la scena musicale della grande mela offre continuamente. Ha da poco data alle stampe Saturnismo, disco realizzato con il trio Minerva, una realtà attraverso la quale si accinge a esplorare terrritori musicali inediti e lidi incontaminati ...
Interview: Betty Bennett (Part 2)
It seems everyone has a good Benny Goodman story, and the best often are from those who actually worked for him. In fact, in his lifetime, Goodman may have generated as many great stories about his flinty personality as he did hit singles. Vocalist Betty Bennett sang with Goodman in 1959 and, like many other artists, ...
Marty Khan: Outward Visionary
by Seton Hawkins
The world of jazz owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Marty Khan. In 1976, when the standard wisdom held that jazz was dead or hiding in lofts, Khan founded his organization Outward Visions and quickly began organizing successful national and international tours for creative artists, including Sam Rivers and Dave Holland, Anthony Braxton, The Art ...
Interview: Betty Bennett (Part 1)
Back in May, in one of my Sunday “Oddball Album Covers of the Week" posts, I showcased two LPs featuring women stretched out on lawns. One was Nobody Else But Me, a 1955 album by vocalist Betty Bennett for Atlantic Records that was arranged by Andre Previn and Shorty Rogers. The point of my post was ...
Something Else! Featured Artist: The Funky, Funky JB Horns
James Brown got all of the headlines, be they for his fancy moves, his fancier suits or his brushes with the law. But the JB Horns, those great groovers who provided the punctuation to every grunt, gasp and squeal, remain an underrated element to the legend. Maceo Parker, the muscular saxophonist, has perhaps had the most ...
Matt Penman e la sua "James Farm"
by AAJ Italy Staff
Intervista di R.J. DeLuke Negli ultimi anni, Matt Penman e il suo contrabbasso hanno calcato le scene di una gran varietà di ambiti musicali, tutti di altissimo livello. E ciò testimonia sia della sua bravura sia della sua capacità di adattarsi alle situazioni più disparate, nelle quali emergono il suo tocco armonioso, il suono ricco ed ...
Arto Tuncboyacıyan: Mr. Avant-Garde Folk
by Ian Patterson
Though a good number of notable jazz fusion bands and musicians have sprung up over the course of the last 40 years, the same few names from the '70s continue to serve as references--and sources of inspiration--in this, the second decade of the 21st century. Most notable are Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tony Williams' Lifetime, Herbie ...
Something Else! Interview: Delfeayo Marsalis, Producer and Trombonist
Delfeayo Marsalis, recipient of the 2011 NEA Jazz Masters Award, stepped out with a rare recording as a leader this year—just his second since the 1990s. Sweet Thunder: Duke and Shak, a canny reworking of Duke Ellington's 1957 suite Such Sweet Thunder on Troubadour Jazz, led to a 36-date theatrical jazz production that ran through May. ...
Leading Questions: Jim Wilke
The best advice I've ever received is “you're not talking to an audience of thousands, you're talking to thousands of audiences of one or two." When I was 14 I was playing alto sax in concert band and listening to Western Swing on the radio during the day and jazz late at night. Broadcasting jazz has ...
