"My Brother, Don Sleet"
Last week I posted about star-crossed trumpeter Don Sleet [pictured] and his sole leadership album All Members. Within an hour after my post went up, a reader sent along an email suggesting that I alert Don's brother, David Sleet. So I sent along a note to the email address the reader provided. David responded shortly, saying ...

Philadelphia Radio Icon Bob Perkins Interviewed at AAJ
"It's BP with the GM!" That's how the famed and venerable jazz disc jockey Bob Perkins signs on the air, with the code for “Bob Perkins with the good music." And it's not just a slogan. Perkins has a way of selecting jazz that resonates with his listeners' tastes and represents thoughtful choices on his part ...
Carles Benavent, un mar de buenas vibraciones
by Guillem Vidal
Hace tres años, Carles Benavent (Barcelona, 1954) iba paseando por los alrededores de la plaza de la Catedral, en pleno Barrio Gótico de Barcelona, cuando un extraño sonido lo atrapó. Era el hang, un nuevo y hechizante instrumento melódico de percusión de origen suizo cuyo sonido marcaría al cabo de muy poco tiempo el ...
Ubiquitous Bassist Christian McBride Interviewed at AAJ
Christian McBride has, over the course of the past two decades, emerged as one of jazz's leading bassists, equally comfortable in the fusion territory of his recent tour with Chick Corea and John McLaughlin's Five Peace Band as he is a more straight-ahead session, like his own new release, Kind of Brown (Mack Avenue,. 2009). He's ...
Jazz Don't Hurt: Dr. Flugel, or, How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Chuck Mangione
The first album I ever bought with my own money (earned, I think, by babysitting for one of the neighborhood kids) was a two-cassette version of Chuck Mangione's 1978 concert recording An Evening Of Magic: Live At The Hollywood Bowl. This album, if you'll forgive my salty language, kicks ass. An Evening of Magic was made ...
Christian McBride: Getting the Inside Straight
by Esther Berlanga-Ryan
If we think about it for a little while, it's possible to believe that there is something almost mystic and undeniably powerful about jazz. The way it developed through the years and its constant ignition-like energy; the creativity of those who lead the way and those who continue the journey today; the improvisation that takes over ...
Reedman Myron Walden Interviewed at AAJ...And More!
In words often used to describe the music of Duke Ellington, Myron Walden is a saxophonist beyond category. More so than many other musicians, Walden himself eschews reliance on any one instrument, not tenor or alto nor soprano nor bass nor ... well, you get the idea. The voice that he is striving to use in ...
A Stylistic and Geographic Traveler Savors His Homecoming
From one angle, the career of the saxophonist Steve Grossman might seem to have unfolded in reverse. He came onto the radar in 1969, playing state-of-the-art jazz-rock with Miles Davis; he was all of 18. From that sideman perch, among the most visible in jazz, he went on to play rugged, horizon-scanning postbop in the style ...
