Seafood & Soul at the French Market
by Tod Smith
New Orleans remains one of the few major international cities willing to offer up its primary export free of charge to anyone who'll take the time to stop and listen. Music, this city's primary calling card, permeates the daily routine from worship to work and can be found in just about every walk of life. The ...
Ornette Coleman Ouartet In Philadelphia
by AAJ Staff
The appearance of the Ornette Coleman Quartet at Verizon Hall in Philly's state-of-the-art Kimmel Center was his first performance in the City Of Brotherly Love since 1988. It was both a significant event and an artistic achievement of towering magnitude. The Coleman band, playing before a crowded and enthusiastic but not-quite-full house, let loose with a ...
The Allman Brothers Band: The Road Goes on Through 2004
by Doug Collette
Some of the most emotional moments of The Allman Brothers' deceptively exciting set in New Hampshire on August 20th was Warren Haynes' stirring performance of Van Morrison's “Into The Mystic." Delivered with an almost religious fervor, the song came across as much as a hymn of gratitude on behalf of the band to be back on ...
Transcendental Hayride: Sweet Waters And Country Roads
by Dennis Cook
Transcendental Hayride August 14, 2004 Sweetwater Saloon Mill Valley, CA The Hay wagon was already building up speed when I walked in, straw and woodsy smoke flying everywhere. Tight, warm halogen harmonies and be-de-boop keyboards took us out of Hazard County and off towards the 3rd moon of an inviting ...

Pieces Of A Dream, Al Jarreau Central Park in Huntington Beach, California September 11, 2004 A quaint little park area behind the Central Library in Huntington Beach (CA) served as the backdrop for a daylong smooth jazz concert that featured Christine Day, Kevin Toney, Andre Delano, Richard Smith, ...
New Grooves: Lafayette Gilchrist at Bohemian Caverns
by Franz A. Matzner
The darkly lit, basement club Bohemian Caverns just might be the perfect venue for Baltimore raised pianist Lafayette Gilchrist. Both the club's owner and pianist draw on the past glories of Baltimore and Washington's jazz scene, and neither feels any compunction about presenting that history in a totally modernized context. For the club, this means Belgian ...
Desmond and Clifton Swing at the Chadds Ford Winery
by Victor L. Schermer
As readers of my other All About Jazz contributions may surmise, I take jazz perhaps all too seriously, regarding it as an art form masquerading as entertainment. (Certainly, this dour quality of mine is no way to win friends and influence people, but there it is ;-). A few years ago, I heard Mary Ellen Desmond ...
Caramoor Jazz Festival
by David Adler
On the second Saturday of this year's Caramoor Jazz Festival (an hour north of the Apple), Sheila Jordan sang “Autumn in New York". That's how it felt, though it was early August. Enjoying the cool breeze, and Jordan's outsized personality, was one of Caramoor's main highlights. Pianist Steve Kuhn, with Cameron Brown on bass and Billy ...
Paris Jazz Diary
by Patricia Myers
PARIS, France--Americans nostalgic for jazz sounds of the '40s to the '60s will find a trip to Paris as satisfying as enjoying the cuisine and viewing the Eiffel Tower. Classic and mainstream jazz is played in a dozen nightclubs by French and European musicians, along with Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and contemporary genres. In my notes from two ...
Jazz Port Townsend 2004
by Joseph Blake
Throughout the week of this July's Bud Shank Jazz Workshop at Port Townsend, everyone tried to ignore the ticking time bomb in the corner. The workshop was followed by Centrum's Jazz Port Townsend on the weekend, and everything unfolded as it has for the last 20+ years. The old gang of veteran musicians passed on bandstand ...
