Take Five With Alison Cecile Johns
by AAJ Staff
Meet Alison Cecile Johns: Alison Cecile Johns is a vocalist and composer with one eye on the world of jazz, rock and '70s R&B, and the other on an open sky of world music and electronica.

Paris Troika: Paris Troika
by C. Michael Bailey
Paris Troika Paris Troika Self Produced 2010 The horizon of hip jazz keyboard trios is littered with the likes of The Bad Plus, Medeski, Martin, Woods, the Big Apple Trio and Soulive. Too cool for school. Because in jazz, contrary to Duke Ellington's supposition that there are only two types ...
Beale Street Music Festival 2010
by C. Michael Bailey
Beale Street Music Festival, Memphis in May 2010 Tom Lee Park, FedEx Blues Tent, Memphis, Tennessee May 2, 2010 April, indeed, may be the cruelest of months, but I doubt that a blue-blood like Thomas Sterns Eliot ever spent the sweaty seasons in Hell that are Spring and Summer in the cultural ...
Misha Piatigorsky: Paris Troika
by Dan Bilawsky
Popular music and jazz have always been connected but, over the years, a bit of a divide has developed. A large portion of songs lumped under the Great American Songbook heading were the popular music of their day. As folk and rock began to eclipse jazz in the public eye, some people refused to get on ...
James Blood Ulmer: In And Out
by Dan Bilawsky

James Blood Ulmer's sound resides at the crossroads where Jimi Hendrix's blues-rock collides with Ornette Coleman's music; where gutsy blues songs meet the avant-garde. His voice bears some ...
Marbin: Marbin
by Hrayr Attarian
Categorizing Marbin's eponymous release as ambient jazz hugely underestimates its music. It is rather atmospheric, but also has enough improvisational substance to not just stay in the background. Marbin is the duo of guitarist Dani Rabin and saxophonist Danny Markovitz. The two also composed all the pieces on the record, ranging from the ...
Allison Miller: Breaking Ground
by Franz A. Matzner
It takes a rare individual to excel in multiple artistic genres, particularly when success unfolds in the public spotlight and presents very different contexts. Certainly technical ability is important, but it also takes a peculiar blend of flexibility, curiosity, and determination. Perhaps that is what makes drummer, composer, bandleader, and outspoken feminist Allison Miller such a ...
B.B. King Live At The Hollywood Bowl, September 5, 2007
by AAJ Staff
One of the greatest blues figures is, of course, B.B. King. King fused the Texas blues playing of T-Bone Walker with a broader, almost literary sensibility; his thicker solo lines provide the opportunity to tell a story, to impart depth, and to dominate a horn section or at least supplement it on equal terms. ...
Nels Cline: Of Singers and Sound
by Rex Butters
Mimi Melnick's Salons feature some of Los Angeles' best improvising musicians in the most intimate of settings--her home, at the top of a hillside overlooking the San Fernando Valley. This afternoon's trio tunes, and tests sound levels. Bass wizard and longtime UCLA professor Roberto Miranda banters with veteran drummer Bert Karl, while the group's lanky guitarist, ...
