Farewell to a Behind-the-Scenes Festival Legend, Monterey Jazz Festival at 66

Salient highlights included a stunning African-flavored commissioned work, Isakoso Ara, from Ambrose Akinmusire--one of the proudest products of this festival over many years--along with a saucy and artful ...
Teri Parker: Shaping the Invisible
by Dan McClenaghan
Here is how to take an artistic vision to the next level: Find a room with a lock on the door. Step inside. Engage the lock. Examine the work of those who came before you. Then begin the process of your own creativity. This worked for pianist/composer Parker--so says her sophomore recording, Shaping The ...
Ted Piltzecker: Vibes on a Breath
by Jack Bowers
Even though Ted Piltzecker is a splendid vibraphonist and ushers a group of Colorado's leading jazz musicians through its paces on Vibes on a Breath, it is his sparkling arrangements that carry the day on this delightful new album.

Leo Sidran: Conversation Artist
by Ludovico Granvassu
For music lovers, listening to music is often not only about the music. An album is much more than a vessel of beautiful chords, notes and lyrics.

Benjamín Gísli Trio: Line of Thought
by Mike Jurkovic
More often than any are willing to confess, it is a pundit's easy way out to compliment and praise an artist by saying that they are reminiscent of some legend and that this legend inspired the artist etc, etc. It looks good for both the reviewer and subject, and serves to make the reviewer sound smart ...
