Michel Petrucciani / Dave Holland / Eliot Zigmund: Kuumbwa
by Jack Bowers
Michel Petrucciani was not blessed with a long life. What the French-born jazz pianist was blessed with was an enormous talent, one most people could not amass in several lifetimes. Petrucciani was born with osteogenesis imperfecta, a genetic disease that led to brittle bones, stunted his growth and left him in almost constant pain--the ...
Michel Petrucciani: Kuumbwa
by Stefano Merighi
Alla fine del suo ricordo personale, contenuto nel libretto di questo doppio album, Enrico Pieranunzi si rammarica di come, in qualche modo, Michel Petrucciani sia stato dimenticato dal mondo del jazz.

From there, Fred moved to New York ...

by Arthur R George
Long Tall Dexter; swinger, bebopper, saxophone balladeer; acting the dissipated genius expatriate who was not unlike himself in the movie Round Midnight; his dressed-up persona “Society Red;" the laconic elder statesman of his later years. Dexter Gordon is all those things, but more than a kaleidoscope of caricatures. Those who trace their lineages through ...
Brother Thelonious Re-Released At California North Coast Jazz and Ale House
by Arthur R George
