George Cartwright: Barrier Islands Bird
by Gordon Marshall
George Cartwright can't be forgotten. The triple sax threat is part of the archaeology of modern New York. The downtown scene, just like New Orleans or 52 Street, has its mythology, and, as much as John Zorn, Cartwright figures in that, having come to the city fresh out of The Creative Music Studio in Woodstock, New ...

Happy Birthday, Cat Anderson!
Jazz trumpeter William “Cat" Anderson (1916-1981) was born in Greenville, South Carolina. His parents died when he was only four years old, so Cat grew up in an orphanage in Charleston. It was here that he learned how to play the trumpet. Fellow orphans gave him the nickname “Cat," not for his trumpet playing but for ...

Latin Jazz Conversations: Danilo Perez (Part 1)
Musicians reach a fluency in performance through their connection with the artfrom; for the most proficient artists, music is completely ingrained into every aspect of their life. In many cases, this total immersion in music happens at a young age, through the influence of a family member of close friend. The young person hears music on ...
Interview: Mose Allison (Part 1)
Mose Allison sings like he's taking a bath with his clothes on. There's a lovely howling casualness about his vocal style, but what you hear is somewhat deceptive. Within that rural yowl is wisdom and depth, not only in the lyrics of the songs he chooses but also in his piano playing. Mose may initially sound ...

Latin Jazz Conversations: Danilo Perez (Part 2)
Children are never born with an innate sense of musical ability; they learn to create music through the help of influential mentors. Sometimes these role models are a natural part of life—a member of the family, a close friend, or even a neighbor. Other times, mentors might be local musicians, active educators, or even a legendary ...
Interview: Mose Allison (Part 2)
Pianist-singer Mose Allison is perhaps rock's least likely muse. A Southern blues singer-pianist, Mose's lyrics are sophisticated and riddled with puns while his voice has a distinct twang. But it's this subversive originality and “who cares" approach that has made his music attractive to artists such as Georgie Fame, the Yardbirds, the Clash, Leon Russell, Van ...
