by Mark Corroto
The best way to embark upon Miles Okazaki's six-volume Work: The Complete Compositions of Thelonious Monk is the same manner you might approach Herman Melville's American masterpiece Moby-Dick; or, The Whale. Like Moby-Dick with its 135 chapters (and epilogue), Work is a Brobdingnagian accomplishment. Okazaki performs the complete Thelonious Monk songbook. 70 tunes in total.

by Mark Corroto
Do you long for the days when jazz was punk? Not meaning music that is loud and out-of-control. but punk as in innovative, nonconformist, and seditious.

Steve Coleman & Five Elements: Live at Village Vanguard Vol. 1 (The Embedded Sets)
by Stefano Merighi
È solamente da tre anni che gli organici di Steve Coleman si esibiscono con regolarità al Village Vanguard di New York.
