Latin Jazz Conversations: Arturo O'Farrill (Part 5)
The idea of making a statement is given a lot of lip service in the jazz world, but little thought goes into the impact of that statement.

An interview with Daniel Lantz, keyboardist for Swedish jazz-funk band Beat Funktion
As the keyboardist of the jazz-funk outfit Beat Funktion, Daniel Lantz is at the center of a disco maelstrom. Taken as a whole instead of the sum of its parts, Beat Funktion is a fireball of pop smarts, a living, breathing groove machine that grinds together the sweat-drenched vintage R&B of James Brown with the sexy ...
James Lent: The Man at the Piano
by Gary Bennett
The Other Side has been a landmark of Hyperion Avenue, sandwiched between a gymnasium and an eatery or two in the Silverlake section of Los Angeles, for several decades. Ownership has changed once or twice; bartenders have come and gone. But faithful patronage of the restaurant-bar hasn't waned. Inside, the blood-red walls are ...
Geni Skendo: Breaking Free
by Gordon Marshall
Flautist and shakuhachi master Geni Skendo does not genre-mash so much as genre-crash, like a late-night interloper joining a lame party and livening it up with exotic sound.
