The list of saxophonists that Hegarty has studied includes George Coleman, Jimmy Heath, Frank Foster, Joe Henderson, ...
Bernie Worrell: Elevation: The Upper Air
by Mark Corroto
Alert Manfred Eicher, somebody has stolen one of his pianists! Certainly in a blindfold test, most listeners would mistake Elevation: The Upper Air for a release by ECM Records, probably identifying the pianist as Marcin Wasilewski or Tord Gustavsen before ever guessing it was by one of the founders of Parliament/Funkadelic, Bernie Worrell. But ...

Gerard D'Angelo: Who's Kidding Who?
by DanMichael Reyes
The old adage about those who can do and those who can't teach doesn't fit nicely into any music tradition.

At the same time it is not difficult to recognize Ulrik's dreamy, Nordic voice. Like other European jazz musicians Ulrik started his career in the United States. ...
