by John Sharpe
Ken Vandermark, Paal Nilssen-Love, John Edwards Café Oto London 23 April 2010 Fortunately the volcanic ash cloud which had closed the skies of northern Europe for almost a week was deemed insufficiently dense to prevent further flights (or further impair the profits of the airlines depending on your degree ...
Norwegian Jazz 101b: JazzNorway in a Nutshell 2010
by John Kelman
2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 Norway may be a country that, more than most, aims to expose people from around the world to its culture through annual events like JazzNorway in a Nutshell, but as rich an experience as attending that junket is, returning to it on a regular basis is an ...
Keefe Jackson and Aram Shelton: Seeing You See and Two Cities
by Clifford Allen
The city of Chicago continues to find itself in a jazz renaissance well into the waxing years of the 21st century--a status that many of America's cities can't easily lay claim to.

Like minds always seem to find and sometimes track down each other. Such is the case with the Polish brothers Marcin Oles (bass) and Bartlomiej ...

by John Sharpe
Matthew Shipp/Paul Dunmall/John Edwards/Mark Sanders Cafe Oto London February 12, 2010 At first glance the opening night of New York City-based pianist Matthew Shipp's three-day residency at north London's Cafe Oto promised a fire music spectacular. Lined up to appear alongside him were three of the UK's leading improvisors ...
Circulasione Totale Orchestra: Bandwidth
by John Kelman
With a group as sonically dense as Circulasione Totale Orchestra (CTO), a single disc can be daunting enough. With Bandwidth, the 25 year-old free-blowing group delivers nearly three hours of relentless collective interplay; three continuous pieces divided into four segments each across three CDs. It's not for the faint-at-heart; even free improv fans may find it ...
John Geggie: Unexpected Conversations
by John Kelman
Most cities have them: musicians who act like a lightning rod, focusing and driving their jazz scenes. In Ottawa, Canada, bassist John Geggie has been one of those significant focal points for two decades, but in particular over the past ten years. He's one of the founding organizers and faculty members of Jazzworks which, amongst other ...

by John Sharpe
Alexander Hawkins Quartet The Vortex London, England January 5, 2010 A very respectable audience braved the cold temperatures (for London where since global warming kicked in it rarely falls below freezing for very long) and further impending snow for the debut of the Alexander Hawkins new quartet at ...
