Meet Mark Weber
by Tessa Souter and Andrea Wolper
Almost every aspect of Mark Weber's life ends up intersecting with jazz; he just might be the original Renaissance jazz fan.

Vinny Golia Sextet: Trajectory
by Mark Corroto
Walking in the canyons of a big city like New York or in the old-growth forests of California Redwoods, it is almost impossible to acquire perspective. One cannot stand back far enough to take in the enormity of the scene. It is best to embrace the hugeness and enjoy the experience. The same can be said ...

Don Preston / Jeff Boynton / Philip Mantione: TriAngular Bent
by Dave Wayne
A lot of artists Don Preston's age, with a similar musical pedigree, are revered as “national treasures."

Three New Releases from Peter Kuhn
by Dave Wayne
Clarinetist Peter Kuhn came up in the 1970s. In those days, one could count the number of modern jazz clarinet specialists on one hand: John Carter, Perry Robinson, Theo Jorgensmann, Alvin Batiste and—if you include the bass clarinet—Michel Pilz. So, one hand and a finger. Still associated with Benny Goodman, Dixieland and Swing, the clarinet was ...

It's not because the session is from Center for the Arts in Los Angeles 2013, it's because the inspiration here emanates ...
John Carter: Echoes From Rudolph's
by John Sharpe

Reissued from 1977, the NoBusiness imprint has supplemented the original LP with a contemporaneous radio broadcast by the same unit. While there is some noise on the first disc as it ...
Joe Rosenberg Ensemble: Rituals and Legends
by Alberto Bazzurro
Il bostoniano Joe Rosenberg, sessant'anni compiuti da poco, è uno dei tutto sommato non numerosi specialisti (monogami) del sax soprano. Ha studiato (strumento e composizione) con Joe Viola, Buddy Collette e John Carter, per mettersi in proprio con convinzione a partire dai primi anni Novanta, incidendo fra l'altro con l'avvento del nuovo millennio alcuni apprezzati album ...
