by Daniel Barbiero
The late 1960s through the 1970s and '80s were difficult years for jazz and jazz-derived improvised music, but they were also years that saw musicians—by necessity—respond to these difficulties with creative solutions. With first the rise and then the commercial dominance during those years of rock music and the corresponding eclipse of jazz, creative musicians in ...
OGJB Quartet & The Last Poets
by Maurice Hogue
There's no way to use geographical borders to define this music called jazz.

Joe Lovano: Trio Tapestry
