James Cammack: Where You At?
by Ian Patterson
Oftentimes, it's only the passing of time that can offer true perspective. In years to come, bassist James Cammack may look back on 2012 as the year when--after over 30 years in the business--he truly began his musical adventure in earnest. After 29 years playing bass in the ensembles of piano legend Ahmad Jamal, Cammack was, ...
Ahmad Jamal: Blue Moon
by Ian Patterson
Ahmad Jamal—senior statesman of jazz piano—first recorded 60 years ago. That he's still producing records of great energy, imagination and flair every couple of years is a remarkable testament to his singular talent. Blue Moon broadly follows the formula of It's Magic (Dreyfus Records, 2008) and A Quiet Time (Dreyfus, 2010); a few Jamal originals, a ...

Steve Khan: Parting Shot
by Mark F. Turner
It's tough for artists to remain viable in a fast-paced environment in which hype is focused on the latest flavor of the week or whatever technology and media is creating a buzz. As usual, jazz gets caught in the flux, but guitarist Steve Khan continues to demonstrate that it's not just about the technology or complexity, ...
Steve Khan: The Making of "Parting Shot"
by Steve Khan
The term, “parting shot" can certainly be interpreted in any number of ways. Perhaps for most of us, it would be best defined like this: “a threat, insult, condemnation, sarcastic retort, or, gesture delivered while departing." I choose to view it as the latter, thinking of a light punch to the shoulder as the final gesture! ...
Steve Khan: Parting Shot
by John Kelman
Evolution is one of those things where an artist either gradually shifts direction, or makes sudden quantum leaps. Guitarist Steve Khan has done both in a career dating back four decades, and the first of three hot fusion records for Columbia as a leader, Tightrope (1977), that fit firmly in The Brecker Brothers camp, but, with ...

Ahmad Jamal: A Quiet Time
by AAJ Italy Staff
Su A Quiet Time riluce ancora una volta la luminosa stella di Ahmnad Jamal. Nonostante l'assenza del fedele collaboratore Idris Muhammad alla batteria (con la conseguente minore mobilità ritmico-percussiva), non si notano sostanziali mutamenti di rotta, equilibri ed impasti timbrici. Non influisce sul risultato complessivo nemmeno l'aria e il clima di New York, dopo le precedenti ...
