Tom Harrell Quintet
by AAJ Staff
Submitted on behalf of Anthony Gallo As a music critic and psychiatrist-in-training, the opportunity to see Tom Harrell with his quintet in concert was one that I could not easily pass up. I had heard stories of his schizophrenia getting the best of him on stage at times, but there was something about a gifted musician, ...
Wallace Roney Quintet: The History of Jazz in Thirty Minutes or Less or Your Money Back
by AAJ Staff
Submitted on behalf of Anthony Gallo Ever since Wynton Marsalis came under the tutelage of Stanley Crouch, jazz has never been the same. From their pulpit high on Lincoln Center, the two have created a significant schism in the jazz community.
