Sun Chung of Red Hook Records: Listening at the Threshold
by Tyran Grillo
Sun Chung's Red Hook Records has, in just five years, become one of the most quietly consequential imprints in contemporary creative music. Its significance lies not in volume, market saturation, or stylistic branding, but in something rarer: a producer's ear turned into an aesthetic world. At a time when recorded music is often treated as content, ...
Dewey Huang: Where Mandarin Songwriting Meets Bossa Nova
by May Yu
In New York, Dewey Huang is building a sound that feels both intimate and far-reaching: Mandarin songwriting shaped by jazz harmony, Brazilian rhythm, hip-hop energy, and the quiet lyricism of Chinese poetry. His path to that sound began in Guangzhou, where he studied economics and statistics, built a recording setup in his dorm room, became involved ...
Hugues Kieffer: Tutto il mondo a Marsiglia
by Silvia Papa
In 26 anni di attività, il festival Marseille Jazz des Cinq Continents si è trasformato da rassegna rivolta soprattutto a un pubblico locale, cui offriva l'opportunità di ascoltare dal vivo grandi nomi del jazz, a festival trasversale che esplora tutta la ricchezza e la diversità del jazz contemporaneo, in un'esperienza immersiva che spazia fra influenze classiche, ...

Tommaso Iacoviello, la poliedrica identità di un giovane trombettista
by Neri Pollastri
Dalla formazione classica ai seminari di Siena Jazz, il percorso di Tommaso Iacoviello dimostra già una personalità musicale difficile da incasellare. Il giovane trombettista toscano si sta affermando in contesti anche molto diversi tra loro e Birds gli ha regalato una visibilità che lo ha portato a comparire nei referendum dedicati ai nuovi talenti. È stata ...
Ellen Pieroni: Balancing Act for a Life in Music
by R.J. DeLuke
By day, a mild-mannered music teacher in the Buffalo public school system in western New York state--the city known for its brutal snowstorms and the NFL's Bills--Ellen Pieroni is, by night, ready to pour out streams of jazz-inflected, funk-infused solos from any given bandstand. From that vantage point, she's fierce and fun. Her band, ...
Rafael Enciso: Bassist Intends To Search, Remember And Evolve
by Dean Nardi
Turn your ears on jazz heads, and you'll hear Rafael Enciso and his quartet playing around New York City's five boroughs. And somewhere nearby, someone will surely be listening to his cooling and coiling debut record Crossfades (2025) on Dayna Stephens' Contagious Music label. It slithers down bowling alley lanes and soda pop convenience store aisles ...
Michael Mordecai: The Man Who Keeps Austin Jazz Moving
by Hank Hehmsoth
Michael Mordecai has spent decades inside the machinery of Austin jazz: on the bandstand, behind the phone, at the booking desk, in the contractor's chair and in the community rooms where musicians, venues and advocates try to keep the music visible. His work has never fit neatly into a single category. Mordecai is a trombonist, bandleader, ...

Ron Carter: Sweet Notes: The Gospel According To An Upright Man
by Ian Patterson
There is just no slowing down for bassist Ron Carter. At least, not that you would know. Writing, arranging, recording, gigging, teaching, media commitments--it is all in a day's work for the indefatigable 89-year-old NEA Jazz Master. Since 1959, when he arrived in New York from his native Detroit, Ron Carter has enjoyed an unparalleled career. ...
