It is as if the pianist gifted the saxophonist with a very large and empty canvas for Liebman to ...
Herbie Hancock: The Chameleon Shows His Colors
by Bob Kenselaar
[Herbie Hancock has a long history of mixing it up--from jazz to funk, pop, and everything in between.

But there have always been artists deftly committed to both teaching and doing.

by John Kelman
Legacy Recordings' recent spate of Complete Albums Collection box sets have righted a whole slew of wrongs by bringing long out-of-print recordings back in a reasonably priced and tidily collected series.
