Something Else! Featured Artist: Boz Scaggs
We all know Boz Scaggs, right? The guy from Silk Degrees, the 1976 smash that spawned hit single after hit single after hit single—the million-selling “Lowdown," “Lido Shuffle," “What Can I Say," “We're All Alone." The truth is, though, that it was the former Steve Miller sideman's seventh solo release, and Scaggs has continued issuing varied ...
Manu Dibango "Africadelic"
It's hard to believe there is a musician anywhere on this earth that could mix great jazz chops with a soulful outlook and a worldly attitude and still make it so fun and funky that it doesn't matter what allegiance you address. This stuff rocks. And, amazingly, it's just as timely now as it was back ...

Tim Nikolsky: Getting Real Down Under
by Ian Patterson
Australian jazz? Although New Orleans is the undisputed historical cradle of jazz, any attempt at a definition of what modern jazz is seems to crash against the rocks of uncertainty at best, and narrow mindedness at worst. Tim Nikolsky--a guitarist who has been part of the Melbourne jazz scene for a decade--agrees that, whilst it is ...
Aaron Diehl
In a section of a Hank Jones master class DVD that was a 2008 Doug's Pick, Jones critiqued budding jazz pianists. One of them was a 21-year-old Julliard graduate named Aaron Diehl. For Jones, Diehl played “I Cover The Waterfront" and Art Tatum's arrangement of Massenet's “Elegy." Apart from a slight reservation about Diehl's use of ...
Medeski Martin and Wood Celebrate 20 Years of Groundbreaking Jazz
Jazz bands have their own kind of dynamic. Usually there is a band leader who writes all or most of the tunes, and the group size is listed after the name, hence the Miles Davis Quintet or the Bill Evans Trio. It's jazz shorthand that tells fans more or less what to expect when they are ...
