Gold Medalists Abound at Big Band Olympics
by Jack Bowers
As this is being written, Betty and I are just back from a ten-day visit to California, the first six days of which would be of absolutely no interest to readers of this column. The last four, however, were spent at the Los Angeles Airport Marriott Hotel attending the L.A. Jazz Institute's “Big Band Olympics," which ...
Moody's Mood Was Always Happy
by Jack Bowers
James Moody, whose noble spirit and radiant personality were as impressive as his exploits on saxophone and flute for more than six decades, died December 9, 2010 from pancreatic cancer at his home in San Diego. He was 85 years old. To anyone who was lucky enough to meet him, the Moody hug ...

Deck the Halls with Big Band Carols
by Jack Bowers
With the holiday season on track and hastening toward us like a runaway locomotive, it's time once again to hunker down and prepare for the annual onslaught of “Rudolph," “Frosty the Snowman," “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," “Sleigh Ride," “Silver Bells," chestnuts roasting on an open fire and everyone's perennial favorite, “White Christmas." Not to ...
Jean-Simon Maurin Trio and Elin Wrede: Djupa Andetag
by Chris Mosey
Djupa Andetag means “deep breaths" in Swedish. They're something that can be easily taken in the unpolluted atmosphere of Scandinavia. And at its best, Jean-Simon Maurin's music--light and lyrical, greatly influenced by pianist Bill Evans--is as fresh as a Baltic summer breeze. There's introspection but--perhaps because of his French ancestry--none of the brooding melancholy that is ...

Lars Gullin: Summertime (1954/56 vol. 9)
by AAJ Italy Staff
Virtuoso baritonista, lo svedese Lars Gullin (1926-76) è stato un maestro del jazz europeo degli anni ’50, in grado di rivaleggiare per estro e tecnica con i ben più celebrati colleghi d’oltreoceano. Questa preziosa quanto meritoria ristampa di alcune sue storiche incisioni ne mette in evidenza la straordinaria cifra artistica. Sul piano della tecnica e della ...

Lars Gullin: Summertime: Vol. 9, 1954-56
by Jack Bowers
Anyone who has been paying attention should be well aware of my stance toward the late Swedish saxophonist Lars Gullin. In reviewing Volume 8 of Dragon's loosely chronological multi-disc survey of Gullin's music, I wrote that he was “a giant among baritone saxophonists, a “truly original voice and “one of the greatest jazz musicians who ever ...
