Larry Willis: Reaching and Teaching
by Russ Musto
In a career spanning five decades, Larry Willis has amassed one the most impressive resumes in jazz, including tenures with Jackie McLean, Hugh Masekela, Joe Henderson, Woody Shaw, Stan Getz, Carla Bley, Roy Hargrove, Jimmy Cobb's So What Sextet and Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band, testifying to the high esteem in which he is ...
Guitarist Andre Matos Interviewed at AAJ
There is no doubt that Andre Matos has chops to burn. Placed firmly in the tradition of John Abercrombie and Pat Martino, with a bit of Sonny Sharrock at moments, a lot of Berklee (College of Music) influence is readily apparent, but with a bit of headiness that also reflects the guitarist's time at the New ...
Andre Matos: Fantasies Realized
by William Carey
There is no doubt that André Matos has chops to burn. Placed firmly in the tradition of John Abercrombie and Pat Martino, with a bit of Sonny Sharrock at moments, a lot of Berklee (College of Music) influence is readily apparent, but with a bit of headiness that also reflects the guitarist's time at the New ...
Old-Time Jazz Swing, but Modern Metabolism
The New York jazz landscape has always been defined partly by its underground, with the tacit understanding that such a region is usually zoned for experimentation. That's as true as it ever was, but it's an incomplete truth because of all that it overlooks. One case in point would be the Ear Regulars, the traditional jazz ...
Drummer Paul F. Murphy Interviewed at AAJ
Legendary drummer Paul F. Murphy has been involved with the high end of improvised music since the mid-1970s in San Francisco.

Sergio Di Gennaro: orecchie ben aperte
by AAJ Italy Staff
Il pianista torinese Sergio Di Gennaro è uno che non molla mai, anzi se è possibile rilancia. Lo abbiamo intervistato dopo la pubblicazione, per il mercato giapponese, del suo All'improvviso, album registrato di getto un paio di anni fa, poco prima di una sosta forzata dovuta a un'operazione alla mano. Compositore e interprete dalla stoffa pregiata, ...
At 30, Princeton Record Exchange is Still Groovy
By Scott Morgan It is Wednesday, in the middle of a day in the middle of an unremarkable week, and there are at least 40 people flipping through records or reading the spines of CDs along the walls of the Princeton Record Exchange. The store will draw nearly 800 people before closing this night and this ...
Interview: Herb Geller (Part 2)
From his earliest small-group recording session with trumpeter Tony Fruscella in February 1952, Herb Geller's sound on the alto saxophone was distinct and vibrant. There was enormous power, spidery speed, seamless ideas and a soaring tone that immediately commanded attention. Though he would be thought of as a West Coast musician in the years to follow, ...
Interview: Herb Geller (Part 1)
Herb Geller is something of a mystery to many jazz fans. For one, the alto saxophonist who recorded steadily on the West Coast in the 1950s has lived in Germany since 1962, returning to the U.S. only sporadically to perform. For another, Herb rarely grants interviews, preferring to maintain his privacy while teaching and touring in ...
