In the Moment: May-June 2004
by AAJ Staff
Submitted on behalf of Butch Nordal A couple of times a year, when I need a shot of urban energy, I drive to the top of Queen Anne Hill and visit that little park on Highland Drive that looks south out over the city. At night, you can take in the amazing sight of all the ...
Oz Fest: Parrott Sisters at Sweet Rhythm
by Elliott Simon
Parrott Sisters at Sweet Rhythm New York City May 2, 2004 Some NYC gigs are prepackaged showcases that masquerade as jazz.

Bugge Wesseltoft and Matthew Herbert: Two Approaches To Leadership
by Colin Buttimer
It was a game of two halves, Jim, and the name of the game was power... Either the advertising for the concert was ambiguous or I had unconsciously indulged in a little wishful thinking.

Sakesho: Carribean Jazz Hits D.C.
by Franz A. Matzner
Blue's Alley April 8, 2004 You never know what to expect when you head out for a night of jazz, and to me that’s the best part of the jazz world. The music has become so diverse, so multi-cultural, and so stylistically varied that on any given evening even the most seasoned listener is ...
