Stanley Jordan and the Sounds of Three Hands (or No Hands), Tapping
Stanley Jordan came to down Sunday night, literally moments behind the birth of his granddaughter. “I'm in a great mood tonight!" he told the Dakota audience.

The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Jazz, January 7-13
Diversity reigns as Jazz 2011 gets underway, from the bluesy swing of Debbie Duncan to the virtuosic eccentricities of Stanley Jordan to such favorites as Benny Weinbeck and Bruce Henry and some edgy stuff from Zeitgeist.

Dakota Combo: Inspired by Mingus... and Another Bassist
I've been a fan of the Dakota Combo for about five years, ever since the first ensemble of seven high school jazz students gathered for rehearsal under the direction of trumpeter Kelly Rossum in the rehearsal space in the old MacPhail Center of Music building near Orchestra Hall.

From Student to Stellar: The Paris Strother Quartet
For a few years, I wrote about a young piano phenom from the Twin Cities, Paris Strother, as she moved from teen keyboard whiz who played the very first opening set at the relocated Dakota to standout student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. Then she came again to the Dakota a year ago, ...

For the past ten, or maybe eleven, holiday seasons, The Bad Plus (Ethan Iverson, Reid Anderson and Dave King) have gathered with family, friends, and fans at the Dakota Jazz Club for what is now a three-night gig celebrating one of the most enduring collaborations among modern jazz ensembles. Reid and Dave grew up in the ...

Space Dust from the Red Planet
In the midst of his battle with lymphona, Dean Magraw and his Red Planet (Chris Bates, Jay Epstein) released Space Dust (GoneJazz, 2009), filled with the trio's celestial wanderings on covers of Hendrix and Coltrane as well as compositions from Dean and Chris. I don't recall if there was a proper CD release since Dean was ...
