Latin Jazz Conversations: Bobby Matos (Part 6)
Artists spend the lives in the creative realm of the world, overflowing with new and exciting musical ideas. In fact, they rarely spend a day in search of new ideas or possibilities.

Latin Jazz Conversations: Bobby Matos (Part 5)
One of the most exiting parts of being a seasoned professional is the ability to touch other people's artistic statements and make a difference.

Intervista a Giovanni Falzone
by AAJ Italy Staff
Fra i jazzisti di cui oggi non si può fare a meno di parlare spicca il trombettista Giovanni Falzone, impostosi nel panorama jazzistico italiano nell'ultimo decennio con costante gradualità, oltre che con una coerenza e una perentorietà ineludibili.

Magnus Ostrom: Late Night Playing, Humble Playing
by Bruce Lindsay
As the drummer with the Esbjörn Svensson Trio (e.s.t.) Magnus Öström became one of the most successful European jazz musicians of the last twenty years. Influenced by a range of musics, his percussion style was a key element of the band's distinctive sound, while the Trio's success over the 15 years of its existence brought it ...
Duke Ellington: 1932-1940
Don't think of Duke Ellington as a bandleader. Instead, consider him in the same light as other great entrepreneurs like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Steve Jobs (Apple), Larry Page and Sergey Brin (Google), and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook). Ellington came up with a great new idea in the early '20s and ran his band and brand like a ...
