2005 JVC Jazz Festival-Newport
by AAJ Staff
Heading up to Newport, Rhode Island this hot August Sunday, the air was so thick you needed a machete to get through it. But then again, life's a jungle. We're used to it.Arriving at the hallowed grounds of Fort Adams State Park overlooking the breath-taking bay, I'm overwhelmed with a good vibe. I love this ...
Happy 104th birthday, Satchmo!
by Sandy Ingham
Louis Armstrong brought the joy of jazz to millions around the world during his more than 50-year career. Now, the world comes to his home town, New Orleans, every August 4th to celebrate his birthday and recapture some of that rapture. At Satchmo Summerfest V (Aug. 4-7) I encountered visitors from France, Germany, Britain and ...
Charles Tolliver: The Real Deal
by AAJ Staff
Charles Tolliver is the real deal. The Charles Tolliver Big Band roared into Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola with both guns blazin' for a full week of hard-swingin' artistry in August. The elusive trumpeter/composer, Mr. Tolliver, offered a rare treat to this Big Apple audience, leading his band with confidence and solid playing.Having had the opportunity to ...

By Mathieu Bélanger The fifth edition of the Suoni Per Il Popolo Festival took place from June 1st to June 26th. It is an annual initiative of the hard-working folks running Casa del Popolo and La Sala Rossa - two of Montréal's most vital venues. Ever since its first edition in 2001, the Suoni ...
Jazz In Marciac Festival: Day 13
by Mark Sabbatini
The first question of the day was why Elvis was on stage in Marciac. The last was if anyone could knock a different king from the throne. Day 13 featured the final round of major concerts for the two-week 28th annual Jazz In Marciac Festival, with pianist Randy Weston and saxophonist Wayne Shorter getting the ...
Jazz In Marciac Festival: Day 12
by Mark Sabbatini
There is no good seat at a quality Afro/Cuban/Latin concert. If the band's really on, people ought to be out of their chairs and in a space where they can jam with style. It's a mentality I've long held, not being schooled in appreciating the subtler nuances of the genre, and it puts me at ...

Keith Jarrett Trio July 21, 2005Throwing In The Towel...The Antibes Jazz Festival must rank as one of the oldest and most famous jazz festivals in the world.

Jazz In Marciac Festival: Days 10 and 11
by Mark Sabbatini
Public toilets are scarce, but a woman in one grape-strewn courtyard said it's probably the nicest place she's waited for one. The vines overhead are supposed to be ripe in about three weeks for supposedly a pretty good vintage year in southwest France (it's possible locals wouldn't be eager to acknowledge a bad one). Even ...
Montreal Jazz Festival 2005
by A. Henkin
Why would a New Yorker make the trip up the thruway for six hours to see jazz in another country? Maybe most performers will come through the city eventually but there is something about Montréal. Perhaps it is the easygoing vibe, almost European, of the city or its lovely weather. But the main reason to attend ...
Jazz In Marciac Festival: Day 9
by Mark Sabbatini
Plenty of people try convincing themselves an expensive, but ordinary, concert was special. Doing the reverse seems like the act of a complete idiot. Then again, that's the opinion many have about journalists anyhow. Trying to be an objective critic - an oxymoron if there is one - sometimes means overcompensating for personal biases, ...
