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 ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Articolo di Warren Allen “Alcune persone pensano che la musica sia qualcosa di elevato," dice Ornette Coleman, raggiunto al telefono nel suo appartamento di New York. “Ma fondamentalmente si riduce al fatto che le persone ricevono piacere dal suono.

Interview: Ray Santos (Part 2)
For years, Latin-jazz has been ignored or unduly dismissed as repetitive novelty music by jazz fans who should know better. While Latin-jazz is certainly foreign to those who have little knowledge of or connection with the Latin experience in America, the music's tempos and syncopation remain exceptional and worthy of scholarship. Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie ...
Interview: Ray Santos (Part 1)
As Latin-jazz legends go, saxophonist Ray Santos ranks high on the list. Few living Latin-jazz artists today can claim to have played in and arranged for the bands of Machito, Tito Puente and Tito Rodriguez. To give you an idea of what this trifecta means, it would be akin to a saxophonist playing in the Duke ...

Jazz Saxophonist Myron Walden Returns with New 'Momentum'
By Tad Hendrickson Jazz has had its fair share of players who have put their careers on hold to do some woodshedding. The most well-known example is probably Sonny Rollins' 1959-61 sabbatical where he studied philosophy and yoga, traveled and (most famously) practiced on New York's Williamsburg Bridge at night. Oftentimes, these searching musicians return to ...
