Just Plain Trane
by Rob Mariani
He appeared on a bandstand that was at least two football fields away, at the Randall's Island Jazz Festival in 1960.

The history of modern jazz is a short one, but even so there are few musicians whose careers began in the bop era and who are still with us in 2022. Drummer Roy Haynes is one.

Sun Ra Arkestra: Nothing Is... Completed & Revisited
by Chris May
The 1966 concert recording which comprises this album--here in a new, audio-improved edition--has travelled the discographical spaceways in what, when it comes to Sun Ra, is properly circuitous and confusing fashion. Eight tracks from it were scheduled for release by ESP-Disk in 1967 or 1968 as The Heliocentric Worlds Of Sun Ra Volume III, complete with ...
