Francesco Guaiana / Luca Lo Bianco / Jimmy Weinstein: Hitch_Hikers
by Mark Corroto
Jazz lives! Brothers and sisters, ever since a fan scrawled that “Bird lives quote around New York to keep the memory of Charlie Parker from fading, the rallying cry has never been in doubt. Institutionalize the music by way of repertory companies and schooling, and the expression happens in the streets. Eliminate the jazz division from ...

Brad Dutz: When Manatees Attack
by Mark Corroto
Growing up with Warner Brothers cartoons created a subliminal soundtrack for life. Certainly the rising notes you heard in your head were for someone walking up a staircase, then there was the creeping-around-the-corner music.

Jack Wright: The Indeterminate Existence
by Mark Corroto
The liner notes to The Indeterminate Existence, penned by Jack Wright, indicate that he no longer plays music like what can be heard on these seven tracks from the years 1988-98.

Gebhard Ullmann / Chris Dahlgren / Art Lande: Die Blaue Nixe
by Mark Corroto
How do you listen to well-recorded music? Is it in your car? Perhaps while you are washing the dishes, working, reading today's newspaper.

Evan Parker / Barry Guy / Paul Lytton: Zafiro
by Mark Corroto
The best comparison to the trio of Evan Parker, Barry Guy and Paul Lytton in modern performing jazz might be Keith Jarrett's trio with Jack DeJohnette and Gary Peacock. Like Jarrett's trio performances of jazz standards, the Parker/Guy/Lytton meetings are modern benchmarks for trio interplay, empathy and creative music. But where Jarrett begins his exploration at ...
