Karl Ackermann's Best Creative Music of 2021
by Karl Ackermann
2020 was a disaster and 2021 was less than a beacon of hope. COVID-19 is in the rear-view mirror but closer than it appears. The political clown cars are over capacity, still running on fossil fuel and spilling occupants into the drinking water. That said, jazz and creative music flourished in ways that could make us ...

by Victor L. Schermer
In his own unassuming way, Bill Evans changed the face of jazz piano trio forever.

Marc Johnson: Overpass
by Karl Ackermann

His ECM debut came as a member of John Abercrombie's ...
