David Borgo: Pathika
by Dan McClenaghan
San Diego's David Borgo, a top-tier jazz saxophonist and an ethnomusicologist with a professorship day job at the University of California at San Diego, says, “Ethnomusicology is like the anthropology of music." He puts this concept into practice with his teaching for the “Semester At Sea." This educational cruise program takes students to various ...
John Coltrane & Eric Dolphy, Clemens Kuratle & Francois Bourassa
by Maurice Hogue
The original broadcasts of One Man's Jazz on Taint Radio happen about a month before they are posted on AAJ, so back in June I was excited as many others to play the only track we could from the new Evenings At The Village Gate: John Coltrane With Eric Dolphy. I suspect by now, that album ...
Spoleto Festival USA 2023
by Perry Tannenbaum
Spoleto Festival USA Queen Street Playhouse, Sottile Theatre, TD Arena Charleston, SC May 26 to June 11, 2023 Respect for the elders in the jazz lineup of this year's Spoleto Festival USA jazz was gracefully counterbalanced by a hearty welcome to newer generations. It only felt fleetingly like the closing of ...
Leo Genovese, Demian Cabaud, Marcos Cavaleiro: Estrellero
by John Ephland
Leo Genovese's piano can sound like an orchestra. It does as much amidst his voluminous solo work on bassist Demian Cabaud's “Arbol Negro," his thick chords, the density of his playing full and ripe. From their new trio recording, Estrellero, which also features the light, sympathetic stylings of Marcos Cavaleiro on drums, are five ...

Nina Simone: You've Got To Learn
by Chris May
The release of this magnificent album, recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1966, is headline news for fans of Nina Simone. None of the material, all of it high grade, has been made available before. Newport promoter George Wein donated the tapes of Simone's performance to the US Library of Congress, where they lay ...
Bill Evans: Waltz For Debby
by Mark Corroto
In a very unscientific survey, 9 out of 10 jazz connoisseurs listed Waltz For Debby by the Bill Evans Trio as one of their desert island picks. For more than sixty years it has been a best seller and this reissue, like its companion release Sunday At The Village Vanguard (Craft Recordings, 2023), is part of ...
Ash Walker: Astronaught
by Chris May
London DJ Ash Walker came to attention in 2019 with Aquamarine (Night Time Stories), a butterlicious mix of jazz, blues, soul, funk and dub reggae that was beyond categorisation. Astronaught is the follow-up, cut from the same cloth. Like its predecessor, it is by no stretch of the imagination a “jazz" album, however ...
John Coltrane: Evenings At The Village Gate
by Mike Jurkovic
All music is, as are all our greater gestures and pursuits--poetry, painting, literature, sculpture, dance--spiritual by nature. An outreach by the artist and thus, by extension, us, beyond the daily argot of the ordinary. But sometimes those instances are so far and in-between, so masked by the lawlessness of the present moment, that our higher selves ...
The Amazing John Coltrane & Eric Dolphy At The Gate
by Chris May
The Impulse! label has released several outstanding John Coltrane live albums since 2000. With the exception of the latest, the sensational John Coltrane With Eric Dolphy: Evenings At The Village Gate (2023), each was recorded in 1965, the year when Coltrane's classic quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones, was at ...
