Matthew Sperry Memorial Benefit
by Rex Butters
Last June, running into Harris Eisenstadt at Line Space Line surprised me. His itinerary had him in the Bay Area, but with a distracted look he told me that the bassist he was scheduled to play with found death riding his bicycle to work. Matthew Sperry played with Tom Waits, David Byrne, and Anthony Braxton, as ...
Priorities of Survival: January-February 2004
by Gregory J. Robb
The Musical Meaning of Globalization Vancouver is the ultimate ethnic potpourri. Since 1986, Asian business, trade and culture have swarmed to our West Coast as our European descendants did over 136 years ago. Vancouver culture is completely inclusive; Vancouverites pursue their hopes and dreams within autonomous political, social and cultural contexts. That is ...

The elegance returned to the stately El Rey Theater on Wilshire hosting the John Coltrane Foundation’s 2003 scholarship fundraiser. The annual event presents one of the most beloved and highly anticipated concerts on the LA jazz calendar. Co-sponsored by KPFK, the Foundation’s Night of Jazz struck a balance between the sacred and the ecstatic. In addition ...
Pharoah Sanders Plays with Fire
by Rex Butters
As wildfires raged around LA, the Pharoah Sanders Vocal Quartet incinerated the Jazz Bakery. The legendary tenor player brought heat from most of his distinguished career. Lovingly touring jazz history whenever he plays, Sanders swings from channeling Coleman Hawkins to creating the future within measures.

Simon & Garfunkel 'Old Friends' Tour
by AAJ Staff
Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville, CT November 2003 Chip Page, my lifelong friend, and I listened to Simon & Garfunkel's “Bookends" album religiously when it first came out. (Must've been 1967.) Decades later the two minstrels are back on the road, performing the music that influenced an entire generation. Today, we are much ...
Ridl & Martino: Duets at Tin Angel
by Victor L. Schermer
On Saturday evening, December 13, 2003, Philadelphia was blessed to have two international jazz greats perform at a small, local venue, The Tin Angel . Of course, Pat Martino is a Philadelphian, and Jim Ridl lives near Princeton, so in that sense they are “local,” but the set that I attended was a world-class event, a ...

Zanzibar Blue Philadelphia, PA December 11th, 2003 Second Set | 9:30PM This is one in a series of reviews that we will be doing from the “catbird seat” at Zanzibar Blue, Philadelphia’s premiere jazz club, located at Broad and Walnut Streets in Center City. We are grateful to the Zanzibar ...
Alive: Michael Brecker in Vancouver
by Gregory J. Robb
“Thank you for being here.” It was a lone voice in a lone moment but, considering the circumstance, the fan unwittingly summed up Michael Brecker’s concert in Vancouver on December 10. If this Michael Brecker was jet-lagged (“you have no idea...”), one would be frightened to watch him work out. The Michael Brecker Quintet woke ...
December 2003-January 2004
by Miriam Zolin
Seasons Greetings... I hope this posting is a good read, and inspires you to do some listening. There is some fantastic music being played live and appearing on CD around Australia at the moment. Even just in Sydney - I wish I had the energy to go out every single night - ...
