Emphasis & Flight 1961: Jimmy Giuffre

Read "Jimmy Giuffre" reviewed by Jeff Stockton


Up until around the time this recording was made, jazz had been beat crazy. Fast or slow, the implicit goal was swing, above all.

Social Skills

Read "Social Skills" reviewed by AAJ Staff


We, as a society, are rapidly losing all of our important social skills. I'm not talking about etiquette things, like which one is the salad fork. I'm talking about the skills needed to have any type of meaningful interaction with our fellow human beings. Things seem to be conspiring to keep us more and more isolated. ...
