Monkbeatz: Ugly Beauty
by Mark Corroto
Seventy years ago, nobody was playing pianist Thelonious Monk's music, except Monk. One of the originators of bebop, along with Dizzy Gillespie; Charlie Parker, and Bud Powell, he created his own language. As the 1940s turned into the 50s, Monk's music developed its own distinctive parlance. The earliest interpreter of Monk, maybe a better ...

Pablo Held Trio: Recondita Armonia
by Phillip Woolever
This solid release furthers the evidence that Held's trio (with bassist Robert Landfermann and percussionist Jonas Burgwinkel) continues to set lofty goals, and proves again the group is quite capable of splendid results.

by Karl Ackermann
The music of the Balkans has been progressively finding a prominent place among Western listeners of creative music in the past several years, though its presence has been a relevant factor for decades.

Sco-Lo: Past Present -- and Future?
I now heard, live, two slightly different iterations of John Scofield's revived quartet with Joe Lovano, bringing their 1990s collaboration into the the 20-teens. At the Detroit Jazz Festival, Kobie Watkins sat in the drum chair in place of Bill Stewart, with bassist Ben Street reprising his earlier role. The band played in the huge Carhartt ...
