Miles Davis Quintets: Stockholm 1967 & 1969 Revisited
by Mark Corroto
Let me ask you, how many versions of Miles Davis do you recognize? Let us employ the word 'recognize' in terms of both, to identify and to approve. Listeners new to the world of Miles would be hard pressed to associate the artist seen and heard with Charlie Parker at New York's Three Deuces in 1947 ...
Adam Shulman Septet: West Meets East
by C. Andrew Hovan
Quiet as it's kept, too many of today's finest jazz artists are given short shrift by an industry that seems to value product of a fleeting nature over true craft and a reverence for the jazz legacy. This makes it particularly challenging for a talent like Adam Shulman to break through to a wider audience. A ...
Steve Argüelles: Home
by Ludovico Granvassu
How do you approach a solo recording session as a drummer? Especially as a drummer that does not seem to believe in drum solos? What challenges does such a format pose to a musician with a penchant for nurturing long-lasting collaborations rather than pursuing vanity projects? Does a solo album leave room ...
Morten Schantz Trio: Passenger
by Ian Patterson
It might be tempting to view Morten Schantz's Passenger as a lockdown album, recorded as it was during those strange times of isolation, but the music can perhaps better be understood as the culmination of personal and musical growth stretching back over more than two decades. Schantz first led a piano trio whilst still ...
Reed Rapture In Brooklyn: A Box Set Of Woodwind Duets With Ivo Perelman
by Hrayr Attarian
One of the 20th century's musical geniuses, saxophonist Charlie Parker said “Music is your own experience, your thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.

Live in Schauburg, Bremen, Germany, 1983
by Jakob Baekgaard
The history of jazz is not only a story of great individuals, but also a narrative of partnerships that have shaped the development of the music. Just think of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong and Earl Hines and Al Cohn and Zoot Sims. There's also a proud tradition of combining saxophone and piano with ...
Peter Brotzmann Chicago Tentet: 3 Days in Oslo
by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.
We live during a time when society needs music in boxes, connected with dots; music that can be readily explained and even more readily understood. But Peter Brotzmann tears down the walls, rips apart the boxes and completely shatters any preconceived notions of what music is supposed to be. He understands the necessity of art being ...
Vinson Valega: Biophilia
by Vinson Valega
Biophilia We are in love with life and can't get enough of it! Life forms fascinate us and nature beckons with its mind-blowing “Wow!" factor as we experience first-hand its every possible shape, size, color, smell, and feel. We contribute money to preserve it and we even watch it on TV. This elemental human phenomenon was ...
Atomic: Retrograde
by Lloyd N. Peterson Jr.
Every time I have the opportunity to attend a performance by Atomic, I find myself asking, how does a band this dynamic and creative miss the radar on so many different media and industry levels? If the Miles Davis Quintet with Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter, Ron Carter and Herbie Hancock could have rocked, they would have ...
