Joe Lovano Investigates Bird
Joe Lovano's musical curiosity seems endless. Creativity is his credo. No what part of the forest he chooses to investigate, he's always looking for creativity. It's what he learned listening to the masters growing up, and playing with many of them over the years. Now, of course, he is one of today's elite jazz musicians, one ...
Led Bib: It's Not Lady Gaga
by Bruce Lindsay
Led Bib: a short, sharp shock of a name for one of the hardest-hitting bands on the UK jazz scene. But the name doesn't tell the whole story, for this is also a band that's capable of inventive and intensely emotive music as well as the riff-laden numbers that have helped it to earn the label ...
Eyewitness: Toni Harper
Back in December, I wrote about an exceptional album that teamed an up and coming vocalist with a well-known pianist. The album is Toni Harper Sings, with the Oscar Peterson Trio. Recorded in December 1955, the Verve album was a rare example of Peterson accompanying a singer relatively new to jazz at the time. Questions naturally ...
Marcus Miller: The Perfect Balance

Forse dimenticano che la fisarmonica si studia anche nei conservatori italiani e che all'esame di diploma si porta l'Arte della fuga di Bach. ...
Catherine Russell Arrives Fashionably Late to the Solo Jazz Vocal Party
I first became aware of singer Catherine Russell through fellow singer Carolyn Leonhart, who had good things to say about her fellow Steely Dan backup singer. I then found Russell's 2006 debut album, 'Cat,' a beguiling mix of old-time jazz, early blues, swing and the great American songbook (in the broadest sense of the word). But ...
Photostory: Steve McQueen
After my article on driving the Bullitt car-chase route appeared in the Wall Street Journal earlier this week, photographer Paul Slaughter sent along an email with two fabulous images he had taken of Steve McQueen, the late star of Bullitt. Rather than tell you about the photos, here's Paul to tell you in his own words: “In ...
Latin Jazz Conversations: Wayne Wallace (Part 2)
The evolution of jazz charges into the future with the ferocity of a tidal wave, and the strongest musicians ride the momentum into the future. The conglomeration of musical styles and improvisational approaches that shape emerging trends in jazz push the musician through a test of flexibility and durability. Sometimes the musician successfully sails over the ...
