Nat Adderley: A Player's Player
by Joan Gannij
This interview was originally conducted in 1997. I met Nat Adderley in San Diego, California in 1986 when I was working as a disc jockey at a jazz radio station and doing the PR for La Jolla Playhouse. We did an interview about a new production of a musical being revived at the progressive ...
Mark Guiliana: Emulating The Source
by Ben Scholz
Over the past ten years, electronic music and jazz have developed a curious relationship. As programmers and DJs sought to remove the human element from their beats and loops, acoustic musicians sought to apply the tight, complex patterns of house and trance music to their traditional instruments. Drummer Mark Guiliana is at the forefront of this ...
Drew Nugent And The Midnight Society Performs At Paris Bistro & Jazz Café
For Drew Nugent and the Midnight Society, playing a gig isn’t just about music. It’s about taking a step back in time. Led by pianist, trumpeter and vocalist Drew Nugent, his ensemble recreates the music of a bygone era—playing what has been coined HOT Jazz—which was popularized from 1897 to 1935. “In essence, it’s jazz in ...
Eric Revis: Trajectory From The Tradition
by R.J. DeLuke
The development of an individual voice on the contrabass is important to Eric Revis, one of the strongest players on the scene. His power and musicianship has endeared him to some of the finer musicians, and bands, in jazz. But Revis isn't content to let things lie there. Not that he has to be ...

Wanda Stafford's album In Love for the Very First Time was arranged by Bill Russo and recorded in June 1960—between Russo's School of Rebellion and Seven Deadly Sins for Roulette, with virtually the same band. One of the exceptions was the inclusion of Bill Evans, a quiet period for the pianist during which he played New ...
Jason Lindner: Beyond the Solo
by Franz A. Matzner
Jason Linder has been at the center of modern jazz's evolution for nearly two decades. His distinctive and flexible piano and synthesizer sound have placed him in a bewildering array of musical contexts and whether it's accompanying Anat Cohen, collaborating with Dafnis Prieto, or challenging the very edges of contemporary jazz--edges he has helped carve--Lindner consistently ...
Un ricordo di Giorgio Gaslini
by Marcus A. Woelfle
Nel 1995, mentre si esibiva al Festival monacense “Big Band Meeting -Jazz & More" Giorgio Gaslini, concesse un'intervista a Marcus A. Woelfle. La ECM aveva appena pubblicato Skies of Europe dell'Italian Instabile Orchestra con l'omonima suite di Gaslini che diede lo spunto all'intervista. Per ricordare il pianista da poco scomparso, All About Jazz Italia ripropone questa ...
Interview: Wanda Stafford (PT. 1)
You may think you own every Bill Evans sideman studio album, but trust me, you don't. The one I'm about to tell you about is so obscure and rare that it wasn't even listed in Tom Lord's Jazz Discography at press time. On June 23 and 24, 1960, at Bell Studios in New York, pianist Evans ...
For Gerard And Linda Carelli, A Life In Showbiz And Artistic Reinvention
