Mike Stern Band at Iridium
by Chris Thompson
Snow was coming down hard in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday night, January 27th -- one of those notorious Nor'easter's -- but that didn't deter my son Daniel and I from making our way to the Iridium Jazz Club (www.iridiumjazzclub.com) to catch the Mike Stern Band. Iridium is a comfortable but intimate venue just north of Times ...
The Treecreepers at the Red Rose
by Colin Buttimer
The Treecreepers are a shifting unit of improvisers centred around the core duo of Pete Flood and Ian R. Watson. We enter the hall at the back of the Red Rose Club’s bar to find the sextet beginning to assemble on a stage bathed in dim red light. That light together with a lack of windows ...
Smooth Jazz Jam with Jay Rowe
by AAJ Staff
Milford, CT May 30, 2003 It was an unlikely gathering place for musicians of such high caliber. This smooth jazz superband couldn've packed any outdoor festival with a crowd of 25,000.

People at IAJE 2004

Either /Orchestra at the National Theatre in Kampala
by Philip Songa
If ever there was any doubt that music is a universal language then the combination of eight Americans, one Dominican Republican, one guy from Surinam and one Ugandan playing music from Ethiopia in Uganda in moving style ought to remove the last vestiges of such doubt. That is exactly the kind of reassurance that was given ...
Jeremy Pelt at Dizzy's
by Dan McClenaghan
Trumpeter Jeremy Pelt could have been forgiven if he and his crack quartet had turned in a ho-hum performance Monday, January 12, at Dizzy's in downtown San Diego. The band had just wrapped up a successful four day stay at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles, and were, at show time, eight hours away from hitting ...
Fillipi Book & Record Shop: The Oldest Jazz Joint in Town
by AAJ Staff
This article was submitted on behalf of Todd Matthews. It is almost impossible to imagine a time when Seattle suffered a lack of book and record shops. The city is known as much for its coffee and rain as it is for its literary and musical interests. However, perusing books and records wasn’t at the top ...
Don Lanphere, Northwest Sax Legend
by AAJ Staff
Submitted on behalf of Doug Miller. The first time I met Don Lanphere was at Jazz Alley in Seattle. It was 1988, and I was playing a week-long gig there with James Moody. I went back to the band room to find Moody talking to a robust looking man. This person was wearing a beige sweater ...
