Pianist Mark Soskin Interviewed at All About Jazz
In conversation with the immensely talented and engaging pianist Mark Soskin, the word “challenge" arises periodically. It's used in a good sense. Simply put, “I like to be able to be handed a challenge and then rise to it," he said in conversation, earlier in the summer of 2010. Diversity is also something he likes. The ...
WartaJazz.com's Agus Setiawan Interviewed at AllAboutJazz.com
In his book The Miracle: The Epic Story of Asia's Quest for Wealth (HarperCollins, 2009), Michael Schuman writes, “In little more than a generation, Asia has emerged from centuries of stagnation to become the rising force of the global economy—a transformation so spectacular that some have called it a miracle."

Either/Orchestra Take a Respite From Ethiopian Sounds to Present Jazz Originals
It's easy to take the Either/Orchestra for granted. The Boston 10-piece has been around for 25 years, putting out consistently excellent albums on its own Accurate imprint.

Intervista a Giovanni Palombo
by AAJ Italy Staff
Giovanni Palombo è un chitarrista romano che non ha bisogno di presentazioni tra gli appassionati dello strumento. Attivo da parecchi anni, la sua musica si è progressivamente allontanata dal folk acustico di impianto più tradizionale degli inizi per arrivare a una personale sintesi di jazz e world music che lo ha portato a collaborazioni con musicisti ...
