Phil Woods Quintet at The Regattabar
by C. Andrew Hovan
Boston, Mass. July 19, 2002 Although it would be this reviewer’s first time out at the Regattabar, it was immediately obvious as to why this venue is always named as one of the country’s leading jazz spots. The sights lines are great, seating is up close and intimate, and the acoustics are ...

by Phil DiPietro
Oh, sweet, hot, humid July--if Frank Constanza were a jazzhead he would have dubbed it the real month of “Festivus" the month of the International Jazz Fest. Mind-boggling possibilities abound for running up the credit card bill in such far-flung locales as Bracknell, Northsea, Paris, Nice, Viennes, Marseille, Toulon, Umbria and Montreaux.

by Phil DiPietro
So, upon rising we took in a couple of Montreal’s more famous tourist attractions ( the Biodome , and the botanical gardens ).

No hay ritmo como "Cachao": Lincoln Jazz Concert Series at Miami Dade Concert Auditorium
by Javier AQ Ortiz
A salient benefit of residing in South Florida is an octogenarian called Israel López “Cachao." The venerable master keeps shrinking and walks in short shuffled steps.

Snapshot Of The Litchfield Jazz Festival
by AAJ Staff
By Annie Taylor Mecca It's a Saturday morning, and the air is still heavy, even after the torrential downpour over the Litchfield Hills last night. The ground is hot and steamy, not unlike the music here at the Litchfield Jazz Festival, August 2,3,and 4, 2002. The setting is sparse, no hustling, bustling crowds as I walked ...

Tony Bennett The International Tennis Hall of Fame August 9, 2002It was a perfect night in the land of perfect people.

Louis Armstrong was above all else an entertainer, a beloved figure ever since the early 1920s when the nation's ears first perked up to the sound of the jazz he was helping invent. From jazz pioneer to big band leader, movie and TV star, to his “Ambassador Satch" years fronting the All-Stars on tours around the ...
A Good Stew: A Look at Javon Jackson
by AAJ Staff
Submitted on behalf of Bob Margolis Fine art often doesn't fit into categories, swim in schools, break boundaries or follow theoretical trends. It is simply just good.
