Vinnie Sperrazza: Juxtaposition
by David A. Orthmann
The most intriguing thing about Juxtaposition, Vinnie Sperrazza's recently released recording, is its loose grip on the jazz tradition. The disc's twelve tracks don't come with a set of standard, recognizable references. Not unlike many of today's leading young artists, Sperrazza has absorbed the lessons of the music's past, and is currently interested in doing things ...
Dorian Devins Hits a Double in the Bleak Midwinter
by C. Michael Bailey
New York centered jazz singer and lyricist Dorian Devins first rocked my sensitive Southern Consciousness in 2013 with the release of The Procrastinator (Rain1 Jazz).

Meet Don Shire
by Tessa Souter and Andrea Wolper
Don Shire's club-hopping habit started in Pittsburgh, but his introduction to the capital of jazz was a 1971 Freddie Hubbard gig at New York jazz institution, the Village Vanguard. And he's still going strong 45 years later. One concert particularly stands out. “When it was over, the people just looked at each other. The feeling was, ...

Noah Preminger: Some Other Time
by Karl Ackermann
After several releases, tenor saxophonist Noah Preminger's uniqueness has become more evident.
