Jerry Granelli: Groovemaster or Destroyer?
by Paul Olson
It's easy to mention drummer Jerry Granelli's accomplishments, but hard to really make clear his importance, or the way he's continuously, over forty years, been at the forefront of most of the innovations and new movements in jazz music. Granelli grew up in San Francisco and made his mark drumming for pianists Vince Guaraldi ...
Jerry Granelli V16: The Sonic Temple
by John Kelman
Approaching seventy, Jerry Granelli's career has been defined by exploration and stylistic diversity. Forget that he's the drummer on pianist Vince Guaraldi's classic A Charlie Brown Christmas (Fantasy, 1965).

Eckert's likeable recitals are cleanly delivered ...

Jerry Granelli/Words by Rinde Eckert: Sandhills Reunion
by John Kelman
In these days of rap-informed everything , the combination of spoken word and jazz is nothing new. Mike Ladd's Negrophilia - The Album (Thirsty Ear, '05), for example, seamlessly blends poetry with electronica-inflected free ideas. But rap has a certain cadence that differs from the less direct rhythms associated with the spoken word of, say, the ...
