Latin Jazz Conversations: Zaccai Curtis (Part 2)
Today's crop of young artists are creating music in a very different world than the one occupied by an older generation. The popular music that surrounds them often lowers the bar in terms of musicality, and many people from their generation simply don't value artistry at a high level. They buck the popular consensus though and ...
Interview: Gary Burton (Part 4)
Gary Burton remained with the Stan Getz Quartet for three years, from 1964 to 1966. Even after the group's sound gelled, Getz was an emotional handful for Gary. Off stage, Gary went out of his way to avoid triggering the saxophonist's dark side. After Gary left Getz in 1967, he formed his own quartet and prepared to ...

An Artist's Perspective on uPlaya: Part One

An Artist's Perspective on uPlaya: Part Two
Yesterday we ran the beginning of a rather long interview we did with the Block Scholars' David Bell about uPlaya, to offer a perspective that differed from its founder, David Meredith. Part two is after the jump. Because a computer algorithm determines your uPlaya score, do you think it's even more objective than getting the opinion ...
Latin Jazz Conversations: Zaccai Curtis (Part 4)
All musicians carry strong influences during their early development; the way that they build upon those influences and eventually move away from them defines their artistic personality. Young musicians generally drown themselves in their influences during their developmental years, soaking in every possible lesson from each recording. There's a period where the musicians emulates their influences ...
Drummer Dan Weiss Interviewed at All About Jazz
The first time drummer/composer Dan Weiss is heard, there can be a perception of something inherently wrong with the music. It slowly creeps up--like a chill on a cool morning, just as the sun is rising over a misty ridge. Waves of lush pastel colors pass over and around in impassioned washes of rhythm and elements ...

Pianist Jessica Williams Interviewed at AAJ...and More!
Pianist Jessica Williams begins a free-wheeling and fascinating conversation with a fan by thanking him for the kind words he has spoken about her music. Then she adds: “But you don't always have to say kind words, you know, as long as you always say the truth." It's advice that is very much in character with ...
