The Roy Hargrove Sextet
by AAJ Staff
Jazz purists say none can compare to the legendary jazz performers like Charlie Parker, Stan Getz, Chet Baker or Miles Davis. They were musicians who lived and breathed the art form, but one must admit, jazz exists through musicians who performed it in the past and those who perform it now. Transending the new breed of ...

Michael Brecker Live at the Blue Note
by David Adler
Michael Brecker Blue Note, New York City February 3, 2000A hook-and-ladder company is probably still working to put out the fire that Michael Brecker's quartet ignited last week at the Blue Note.

Bill Frisell Quartet
by Craig Jolley
Country music and jazz, musical cousins barely on speaking terms, both came of age in the 1920's. They have not really affected each other until lately, although their early histories have much in common. They emerged through back doors and depended heavily on irony and parody inherited through the blues. The phonograph record spread their popularity. ...
Hod O'Brien Trio
by Craig Jolley
Bud Powell-inspired pianist/composer Hod O'Brien came to maturity on the late-50's New York scene, gigging and recording in the company of Oscar Pettiford, Art Farmer, J.R. Monterose, and others. I first noticed him years ago on “Diffusion of Beauty," a piece of exotica he wrote for a three-trumpet record with Farmer, Donald Byrd, and Idrees Sulieman. ...
McCoy Tyner @ Yoshi's
by Forrest Bryant
McCoy Tyner's annual two-week residency at Yoshi's jazz club in Oakland is always an “event", with all performances selling out well in advance. For the first week of this year's stay, Tyner was matched up with an all-star lineup in a classic quintet arrangement. They did not disappoint. The Sunday matinee show was exciting, often brilliant, ...

Accompanying ...

No one, he said, had a tone like Lee’s, a tone Davis wanted.Now at age 73, Konitz —no longer a Henry Kissinger look-alike with his silver hair and ...
