Lock 10 at Joe's Pub Kathy Hendrickson's play Lock 10 is the story of a white guitarist in the 1930s seeking to leave the family business to go on tour with an integrated band. Staged as a period radio play, with actors playing actors voicing roles, it makes for an odd telling. The actors aren't tethered ...

The Oliver Lake Big Band/Joe GiardulloRouletteApril 3, 2008This gig was set to be an example of complete polar opposites, from the bands of two veteran saxophonists.

Winter Jazzfest at Knitting Factory It's hard to say which was the bigger surprise: spending an evening at the Knitting Factory hearing some of the best jazz players around or being just one of hundreds doing the same thing, with at least 50 more waiting to get into the sold-out night. True, the Winter Jazzfest takes ...

The Kenny Garrett Quartet at IridiumKenny Garrett was in funky fettle. The saxophonist's latest band seem incredibly youthful, but are also armed with impressive technique and a clear understanding of several jazz satellite forms.

Fred Anderson/William Parker at The Living Theatre To hear Fred Anderson without a drummer behind him is at least a little like hearing a different horn player altogether. He did it at the 2003 Vision Festival in a duo with bassist Harrison Bankhead (documented on CD by Ayler Records) and did it again Dec. 7th with ...
