NEC's Ruby Celebration
By Timothy J. O'Keefe Boston's South End was once home to a thriving jazz community. Places like the Hi-Hat, the Savoy, and the Local 535 lined the intersections of Mass Ave. and Columbus Ave. Wally's Cafe is the lone remnant of this nearly forgotten era. The sounds of jazz aren't quite dead in this community--they just ...
The New Mellow Edwards: Big Choantza

Ken Schaphorst: Purple
by Mark Corroto
As a jazz fan who’s listening preferences tend toward small group recordings, I find big band recordings, by definition tend to be, well...BIG. Most large ensembles, like ocean liners, have trouble maneuvering, their sounds tend to be crowded and loud. By the time Leonardo screams “iceberg” it’s too late, the record is sunk. Maybe that’s why ...
Ken Schaphorst Big Band: Purple
by Jack Bowers
Unlike some Jazz composers who write unpretentious big–band charts designed to serve as springboards for soloists, Ken Schaphorst approaches the task with soloists in mind but focuses always on orchestral textures and colors, employing improvisation as an integral element in the over–all compositional makeup.
