Not Like Before: Michael Robinson's Jazz Without Borders

Read "Not Like Before: Michael Robinson's Jazz Without Borders" reviewed by Michael Robinson


Playing my personal vision of jazz, claiming that name as part of my heritage, I endeavor feeling the rhythms of life in the present, past and future, entering into them through touch and nuance at the piano, connecting rajas, sattva and tamas; circular movement, cohesion and disintegration. I've been fortunate to know masters of improvised ...

Introducing Jazz History And Literature, Reconceived

Read "Introducing Jazz History And Literature, Reconceived" reviewed by Phillip A. Haynes


When I was invited to offer jazz coursework in 2007, as Bucknell University's first Kushell Jazz Artist-in-Residence, my Chair asked what single subject I thought was most important to teach.

Neil Swainson: Fire In The West

Read "Fire In The West" reviewed by Jack Bowers


It's hard to believe that 35 years have flown by between the release of bassist Neil Swainson's debut album, 49th Parallel (Concord Jazz), and his second, Fire in the West, recorded in November 2021 and released nine months later. But Swainson was hardly in hibernation during those years, as he has been one of Canada's busiest ...

An AAJ Interview with Ben Allison

Read "An AAJ Interview with Ben Allison" reviewed by AAJ Staff


This interview, conducted by Allen Huotari, was first published at All About Jazz in September 1999. As history has taught us, it's not enough to be gifted with talent, one must live up to the burden that “potential" brings.

Giovanni Benvenuti e il Questionario di Proust

Read "Giovanni Benvenuti e il Questionario di Proust" reviewed by Paolo Peviani


Il tratto principale della mia musica Credo che la caratteristica principale della musica che scrivo sia la centralità della melodia: anche nelle strutture armoniche e ritmiche più complesse ricerco sempre l'immediatezza del lirismo.
