by John Kelman
January 11, 2010

It's hard to imagine vibraphonist Mike Mainieri in his seventies.

The Art of the Trio: John Patitucci, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Marcus Strickland

by J Hunter
December 9, 2009

But it really is an art, and no more so than when the lead instrument is not a piano, or any member of the keyboard family. Think about it. Without the myriad capabilities of Mehldau's instrument, a trio's leader must ...
