JVC Jazz Festival - New York 2003
by AAJ Staff
George Wein, “the grandfather of jazz festivals" announced this year's JVC Jazz Festival lineup with a little help from his friends. Bill Cosby was smiling brightly as this American icon threw his support behind the American art form of jazz. Held every year at Manhattan's Supper Club on the upper westside, we hopped a New Haven ...
Jeff Beck Rocks NYC
by AAJ Staff
The date: 9/11. The place: Manhattan-New York. The purpose: Jeff Beck is in town. As I take the New Haven line train down to Grand Central Station, I am reminded of this day two years ago. There is a certain reverence in the air. Lots of cops and firemen. It's a feeling that kinda hits ya ...

New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival 2003
by Sandy Ingham
There's a song about Jazzfest that the Pfister Sisters sang on opening day of this year's expanded eight-day extravaganza down in New Orleans. It's called “Down at the Jazzfest," and it's way better than the Dave Bartholomew-penned ditty “Jazzfest Time in New Orleans" that WWOZ, the indispensable NPR outlet, has christened as the festival theme. The ...
Byron Morris and Unity
by Matt Merewitz
Though there is nothing particularly spectacular about Byron Morris the saxophonist, the energy and joy that he brings to his group Unity, is truly a unifying force. His willingness to engage the audience in the music as it is happening is quite refreshing in a music often dominated by lofty-headed “artistes" who feel they are above ...
Jazz Yatra-the Indian Jazz Festival
by AAJ Staff
Jazz is arguably the most argumentative form of music (even has diminished and argumented chords). So at the outset let me present my side of the argument. Jazz is musical improvisation, right? Indian classical music is improvisation, still right? Granted Indian music does not have the harmonies of the west. But the keyword here is improvisation ...
