John Williams' Jazz
by Dan Bilawsky
The idea for this edition of Old, New, Borrowed and Blue isn't new. The seeds were actually sown with an experience I had a few years back. About four years ago, I was writing for a different jazz publication and I received a package of recordings in the mail. This parcel contained the usual mixture of ...

Jordan Young Group: Jordan Young Group
by Chris Mosey
At best, the Jordan Young Group cooks like one of those hard bop organ-led outfits of the 1960s. At worst it PiNGs. The “PiNGs" are short clips from a long improvisation, credited on the sleeve as a composition by its initiator, organist Brian Charette, who calls it “a song with no consequences." Young says, “I felt ...

Wes Montgomery, Soulive and the Beatles: Bending Time
by Chris May
Two albums by guitar/organ trios would seem, on the face of it, to be prosaic enough propositions. And musically, guitarist Wes Montgomery's Boss Guitar, newly remastered, and Soulive's Rubber Soulive, recorded in 2010, are indeed straightforward affairs. But consider them together, and a cluster of time warps emerge, as 47 years of age difference shrink and ...
Eric Felton: Seize the Night
by C. Michael Bailey
Eric Felten's Seize the Night is a throwback to the tradition of Jack Teagarden, that has carried forward through Wycliffe Gordon and Vincent Gardner; that is, the tradition of the singer-trombonist. A talented songwriter, Felten, is also quite the instrumentalist in composing and performing, as evidenced by his original ,"Three-Martini Lunch." More swing ...
Jimmy Cobb and the Kind of Blue Sessions
It's eerily appropriate, in a way—Jimmy Cobb is the only musician missing from the photos of the famous “Kind of Blue" recording sessions that decorate his bedroom. He's also the last one still living, a fact he's reminded of every day he awakens and sees his old friends staring back at him—jazz legends John Coltrane and ...
Vic Damon, 30th Street Studio, Village Vanguard
by Sean Dietrich
The oft forgotten recording studio. It's humble presence remains under-acclaimed. Electric lights suspended high above a giant mess of cables. Omniscient microphones standing tall, appraising the heart of arrogant musicians who approach. Scribbled papers rest on music stands, while heated brawls are incubated among hot headed horn players. This is where music is born. And yet ...
