Jan Lundgren / Bengt Hallberg: Back 2 Back

Read "Back 2 Back" reviewed by Chris Mosey

by Chris Mosey
February 29, 2012

An historic meeting of two giants of modern jazz in Sweden. Bengt Hallberg, born 1932, helped to found the idiom via his work with alto saxophonist Arne Domnérus in the 1950s and attracted international attention by recording with such US legends as Clifford Brown and Stan Getz. Leonard Feather praised his “unique light-fingered style."

by Chris Mosey
January 7, 2011

What do Andre Previn and Cole Porter have in common? Well, with Saul Chaplin, Previn adapted Porter's greatest hit, the score for the 1953 MGM musical Kiss Me Kate.

Scott Hamilton: Live at Nefertiti

Read "Live at Nefertiti" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard

by Jakob Baekgaard
January 29, 2010

Jazz isn't always about breaking new ground in terms of sound and genre. It's just as important to preserve the music of the masters, and nobody carries the torch of tradition more elegantly than tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton. His heroes include Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins and Lester Young--in short, the founding fathers of swing saxophone playing. ...

by Chris May
September 1, 2009

He has, perhaps, been engaged in such a diversity of projects--playing with pianist Jools Holland's Rhythm and Blues Orchestra, running his Clowns ...
