Something Else! Featured Artist: Chicago
Fans of their initial music could be forgiven for barely recognizing Chicago by the 1980s, as fussy power ballads eventually flushed out the band's signature horn sound. A group that had built its reputation on organic experimentation, a kind of prog-fusion that earned heavy rotation on a then-new FM radio format, never returned to the album-length ...
Interview: Discovr's Dave McKinney on Replacing Curation with Data Analysis
The welcome screen for Discovr, the first app released by Dave McKinney's company, Jammbox. The process of looking for new music has always been at least partially visual. Whether it's an interesting album cover at a record store, or a cool band photo on a blog, visual cues help us organize and process audio signals. But ...
Josh Roseman: tanta carne al fuoco
by AAJ Italy Staff
Di R.J. DeLuke Josh Roseman è un uomo impegnato. Molto impegnato. E anche estremamente energetico, il che è un bene, perché altrimenti si sarebbe portati a pensare che tutte quelle attività lo possano sfiancare. Si dedica infatti a mille progetti, tutti di spessore, e pervasi dalla sua inarrestabile creatività. Trombonista, compositore, arrangiatore, pensatore cosmico, Roseman ha ...
Something Else! Interview: Gregg Rolie, Founding Member of Santana and Journey
By Nick DeRiso Gregg Rolie, a 1998 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has learned a lot about himself since taking fame's exit ramp to start a family almost 30 years ago.

Lauren Sevian: Big Voice on the Big Horn
by R.J. DeLuke
Swaying slightly, with eyes closed, Lauren Sevian pours a lot of heart and grit into the big, baritone saxophone--the largest of the most commonly played saxophones and an axe that looks even more considerable when seen against her small frame. She comes out with an imposing sound and welcoming style, put forth through a striking conception.
Ella Fitzgerald and Irving Berlin
I will say from the outset that this post is an exercise in futility. But here goes: Ella Fitzgerald Sings the Irving Berlin Song Book is my favorite entry in Fitzgerald's eight- album songbook series recorded between 1956 and 1964. It's an absurd claim, I know, since each of her tribute albums are like different flavors ...
Herb Alpert: On The Record
by Telly Davidson
It was no less than Miles Davis who once opined, “You don't have to hear but three notes before you know it's Herb Alpert." True enough, while Alpert's name isn't often mentioned in the same sentence as the other icons of West Coast jazz (many of whom appeared on records produced by his and Jerry Moss' ...
David Caceres: Double Threat Coming Forward
by R.J. DeLuke
The singer/instrumentalist in jazz has a long and honorable tradition. Many of those, though certainly not all, are more known for their singing than playing, especially in the last 20 years or so. But almost universally, they're enjoyed for what they can do, breathing a certain joie de vivre into songs by expressing the lyrics, then ...
