Tampere Jazz Happening 2013
by John Ephland
Tampere Jazz Happening Tampere, Finland October 31-November 3, 2013 It all started with a whimper. Or, rather, a quiet, almost serene drum roll. You knew things were going to eventually explode, but, of course, the getting there was half the fun. The Danish drum duo Toto was working in tandem in what ...

Jonas Kullhammar Quartet: Låt Det Vara
by Mark Corroto
If someone told you that jazz wasn't invented in America, you would say they were crazy. Insane. Next thing they might submit is that Christopher Columbus didn't discover the New World.

by Mark Corroto

Art Strike!
by Mark Corroto
"Would you support an art strike?" That's the question I've been asking musicians for the past few months. “Will you agree to stop writing and performing music for one year?" In 1990 the London artists Stewart Home and Mark Pawson proposed that all artists cease to “make, exhibit, distribute, sell, or discuss their work" for three ...
