Bob Mintzer: Amazing Reach
by Bob Kenselaar
For about half of his four decade-long career in jazz, Bob Mintzer has been a member of the Yellowjackets, one of the most enduring, distinctive and creative bands in contemporary jazz. But, oddly enough, this association is a relatively small slice of Mintzer's remarkably multifaceted life in music as a saxophonist, bass clarinetist, composer, arranger, educator ...
James Cammack: Both Sides Of The Coin: Part 1
by Ian Patterson
Though James Cammack began on electric bass in the mid-1970s, he's best known as the double-bassist for legendary pianist Ahmad Jamal, a role that kept him on his toes for a remarkable 29 years. Cammack has graced many of Jamal's best latter-day recordings, but it's really live, locking horns in an improvisational cauldron with Jamal and ...
Randy Hoexter: Fromage
by Dan Bilawsky
In manufacturing, it's nearly impossible to work with substandard raw materials and wind up with a high quality finished product. While the same tenet often holds true in music, pianist Randy Hoexter is out to prove that the manner of presentation can overcome the matter itself. On the aptly titled Fromage, Hoexter rearranges ...

by John Kelman
Trondheim Jazz FestivalTrondheim, NorwayMay 9-13, 2012Being Norway's third largest city, next to Oslo and Bergen, means something completely different to being the third largest city in Canada or the United States.

The Michael Landau Group: Organic Instrumentals
by John Kelman
What do Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Neil Diamond have in common? Well, aside from being amongst the more important singer/songwriters of the past forty years, they've all recruited Michael Landau at one time or another. Between hundreds of recordings and plenty of high profile tours, it's more than a little surprising that the guitarist hasn't ...
Jeff Lorber: Galaxy
by Jeff Winbush
Don't call it a comeback. Call it a throwback. In a time when many of the major players of the fusion era have unplugged, keyboardist Jeff Lorber not only keeps grinding away, he's doubling down. Not by coincidence is Galaxy billed as a Jeff Lorber Fusion project rather than a Lorber solo project. This is clearly ...
Jeff Lorber Fusion - Galaxy (2012)
Keyboardist, composer, producer, arranger and bandleader Jeff Lorber has been propagating fusion jazz for so long, the term “Jeff Lorber Fusion" seems almost redundant. Long dismissed by jazz purists and “heavier" fusion fans alike, Lorber has actually provided a bridge from so-called “lite" jazz to more serious, improvisational forms of jazz, as his Berklee-bred chops are ...

MoonJune Records: A Decade of Progressive Rock Documentation
by Mark Redlefsen
On a moon of this past June, appropriately enough, Leonardo Pavkovic, owner of the progressive jazz label MoonJune Records, gave All About Jazz an interview at the label's office in Union Square, New York City. The name MoonJune Records, which Pavkovic started back in 2001, is taken from the title of a song, “Moon In June," ...
