2026 Tilles Jazz Fest
by Dan Bilawsky
72 hours before the 2026 Tilles Jazz Fest, the mercury hit 100 degrees on Long Island; 48 hours ahead of the event, Canadian wildfires sent orange skies and unsafe air quality; and one day before everything was set to get underway, the forecast looked seriously grim--heavy rain(s), thunderstorms, a chance of hail and even a tornado ...

by Andy Crowther
Without paying attention to sleeve notes, you could be a fan of the Black Jazz record label and their run of funky yet deep releases of the 1970s, and miss the fact that trombonist Sanifu Al Hall Jr. both played and wrote on albums from Doug Carn, Henry Franklin, and Chester Thompson.

Philippe Crettien: Healthy Trail
by Sue Yang
Philippe Crettien's Healthy Trail is a chordless trio album built around implication.

by Patrick Burnette
The great Sonny Rollins left this dimension on May 25, 2026, and the boys find it only fitting to devote two episodes to the jazz colossus.
