by Roger Farbey
It's not immediately clear that African Time is a jazz album at all. However, perusing the CD digipak's details, there are obvious clues that if not exactly jazz, it is certainly jazz-related.

Eric Wyatt: Look To The Sky
by Dan Bilawsky
Look To The Sky is a story of family, navigating the world of jazz, and extolling those who helped light the way.

by Thomas Earl
Back in October of 2015, Keyon Harrold had his laptop and seven hard drives worth of material stolen from his car in New York.

Properly paying tribute to a figure like the late Elvin Jones is about more than aping a style of drumming and referencing songs; it's about acknowledging a specific life force, how it fueled the music, and how it lives on in those who Jones influenced on the bandstand, in the studio, and through his recorded work. ...
