Leslie Pintchik: True North
by Dan Bilawsky
Leslie Pintchik's music has a magical draw to it. Perhaps it has to do with her pearly and softly pronounced piano work, at once circuitous and direct in the way it shapes and navigates expressive pathways. Or maybe it has to do with her compositional acumen. Her pieces, after all, have a way of registering and ...
Ken Peplowski: Enrapture
by Dan Bilawsky
How on earth do you successfully bind the music of Duke Ellington, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Fats Waller, Herbie Nichols, Bernard Herrmann, Peter Erskine, and Noël Coward into one coherent statement? The answer is simple: You don't, unless you're Ken Peplowski. Over the course of ten tracks from the aforementioned composers and other well-known tunesmiths, ...
Joe Jackson at the Paramount Theater, Denver
by Geoff Anderson
Joe Jackson Paramount Theater Denver October 8, 2015 Joe Jackson has led a double (or maybe triple) life for most of his lengthy career. He hit the scene in 1979 with his debut album Look Sharp! (A&M 1979) rolling into the U.S. from England as part of the “New Wave," a ...
Ron Aprea: Ron Aprea Pays Tribute to John Lennon and the Beatles
by Nicholas F. Mondello
The John Lennon-Paul McCartney canon has been recorded by everyone with the possible exception of “Honey Boo Boo" and “Mini Me." Some of those efforts are feckless attempts at moving the popular-genre so far away from its source it is laughable. Saxophone artist, Ron Aprea had the unique opportunity (along with trumpeter Steve ...

It's a chilly, overcast afternoon in Oslo, Norway in late October 1981.

Iiro Rantala al Pinocchio Live Jazz di Firenze
by Neri Pollastri
Pinocchio Live Jazz Firenze 17.01.2015 Un jazz club può non apparire il luogo più adatto per mettere in scena un piano solo, tipo di performance che richiede attenzione e raccoglimento per essere apprezzata. Ma quando l'interprete del piano solo è non solo bravissimo, ma anche creativo, pirotecnico, ironico, irruente, ...
Gov't Mule with John Scofield at the Ogden Theatre
by Geoff Anderson
Gov't Mule with John Scofield Ogden Theatre Denver, CO February 24, 2015 A jazz guy plays with a heavy rock band? That would be the superficial description of Sco-Mule. A deeper examination shows that John Scofield and Gov't Mule's Warren Haynes are twin brothers of different mothers. Each possesses a yearning, ...
Richie Goods and Nuclear Fusion: Three Rivers
by Dave Wayne
Growing up in the 1970s, I was a rabid fan of the aggressive and adventurous sounds of jazz-rock, later re-branded as “jazz fusion." I slowly lost interest as the style became mired in a sticky sea of overproduced pop moves and smooth sentiment, but held out hope for some sort of renaissance. The jam-band fad of ...
