Moldejazz 2026
by Daniel Mège
Located at 62°7 North, Moldejazz (the Molde International Jazz Festival) is the ideal place for a festival in week 29, in early summer. A floral scent drifts through The Town of Roses, a ribbon less than a kilometer wide wedged into a peninsula between fjord and mountains. Even once it has set, the sun is never far ...
‘I Thought I Composed That’: Terence Blanchard and the Inheritance of Jazz
by Kofi Adjepong-Boateng
Cadogan Hall, where Terence Blanchard and I met, was built in 1907 as a church in the Byzantine Revival style. When its congregation dwindled, the Cadogan Estate reopened it in 2004 as an arts venue, preserving Arild Rosenkrantz's stained glass and stone while the purpose was reimagined--a fitting room in which to discuss “inheritance" and “creation" ...
Ivo Perelman: Synesthesia
by Mike Jurkovic
Like past gatherings of tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman, pianist Matthew Shipp, bassist William Parker, and drummer Bobby Kapp, inscribed to memory on the highly touted Ineffable Joy (ESP, 2019) and Heptagon (Leo Records, 2017), Synesthesia erupts into consciousness with a punch and flurry. Feverish by design, “First Color Heard" stays true to its title ...
Bob Nell & Michael Bisio Trios: Trios: We Are Here
by Mark Corroto
Don't be misled by the adjective naïve when describing the collaboration between pianist Bob Nell and bassist Michael Bisio. Their recording We Are Here is hardly “naïve" in the sense of being inexperienced or unsophisticated. Rather, it embodies the word's more generous meaning: music that is natural, unforced and free of affectation. There is no posturing ...
Voo Voo Runs the Voodoo Down
by Maciej Stasiowski
Voo Voo is the faux-phonetic transcription of how Wojciech Waglewski's initials should be pronounced in English--instead of the default “double U" times two. By no mere coincidence, it is also the name of a group he has been running since 1985. Having secured his band this way for sailing on international waters already at the outset, ...
Introducing Saxophonist Jay Thatte
by Sanford Josephson
Jay Thatte has been playing music since he was seven years old, starting out on classical piano. In the sixth grade at Newark Academy, a coeducational private day school in Livingston, NJ, where he lives, he was exposed to jazz by Julius Tolentino, the Director of Bands. “He introduced me to clarinet and saxophone," Thatte recalled. ...

Leon Buckley Quartet At Scott's Jazz Club
by Ian Patterson
Leon Buckley QuartetScott's Jazz Club Jazz Futures Belfast, N. Ireland July 24, 2026 There is nothing like a good typo to induce the titters. Hats off to the Belfast gig guide who listed this one as the 'Leon Bucket Quarter.' It could have been worse. In a 1631 reprint ...
Nicholas Payton / Butcher Brown: A Supreme Blue
by Jack Kenny
Is it an act of bravery or simple foolhardiness to revisit two of the most revered albums in jazz history--records that transcend popularity and occupy a near-mythic place in the music's collective psyche? In this centennial moment for both Miles Davis and John Coltrane, the question carries not only artistic weight but commercial implications as well. ...
