Arun Ghosh: A Very British-Asian Jazz Head-Space
by Ian Patterson
If clarinetist/composer Arun Ghosh continues as he's going there's a danger he'll soon dethrone saxophonist Gilad Atzmon as the UK's hardest-working jazz musician.

Miles Davis: In a Silent Way
by Nenad Georgievski
"Miles' audience isn't where it used to be but neither is his music" was used to market the new releases of Miles Davis' indefatigably changing music in the late 60's that caused seismic shifts in the world of jazz and completely had redirected it into new and fresh territories.
