John Bickerton: Submerged
by Karl Ackermann
Pianist and composer John Bickerton has been absent from active recording since his 1999 Shadow Boxes (Leo Records).

Gavin Templeton: Ballast
by Dave Wayne

Stan Getz: Spring 1976
by C. Michael Bailey
The musical specter of John Coltrane is so massive and dense that its creative gravity often does not allow even a whiff of his contemporary saxophone players.
