by John Kelman
For those who may have noticed, there have been no best of lists coming from yours truly since 2014; sadly, the chronic health problem that has reduced my previous writing pace to a crawl continues without much respite.

This Holiday Season, All About Jazz is All About Guaraldi

What I Hear Now è un gioiellino di eleganza, sobrietà, passione, musicalità. Al settantaquatrenne Jerry Granelli sono sufficienti trentotto minuti scarsi per mettere in campo una vita dedicata alla musica -quella senza confini e senza barriere, dalle session free della San Francisco anni sessanta alle sedute psichedeliche con Sly Stone passando per gli storici trio con ...
Jerry Granelli: What I Hear Now
by Dan McClenaghan
The simple answer to the question that drummer Jerry Granelli poses on What I Hear Now is “horns."
