Francis Hon: Before Dawn
by Troy Dostert
Taiwanese pianist Francis Hon didn't plan on becoming a jazz musician. But, during his doctoral studies in piano performance at the University of Texas, he met Jeff Hellmer, Director of Jazz Studies at the university, and that connection initiated Hon's pathway into the world of jazz--one he further explored during an eventual move to New York ...
Fat Kid Big Band: New Beginnings
by Jack Bowers
Note to Montreal's Fat Kid Big Band: If you really want to make a favorable first impression on your audience, move the opening track on New Beginnings, “Bustin' My Ass," and replace it with any of the album's five instrumental numbers. Nothing personal, and no disrespect meant to singer Othniel PF, but why would a big ...
SFJAZZ Collective: Live: SFJAZZ Center 2016 - Music of Miles Davis & Original Compositions
by John Kelman
In the thirteen years since the SFJAZZ Collective first came together in February 2004, this revolving door octet (septet, in 2009) of “cream of the crop" US-based jazz musicians has, most years, followed a consistent modus operandi: select a well-known jazz (and, in two cases, beyond jazz) musician and pay tribute through innovative arrangements of his/her ...
Rick Hirsch's Big Ol' Band: Pocono Git-Down

Even though the days of cross-country bus trips, one-night stands and regular appearances on radio and TV have long since vanished, big bands continue to dot the landscape on all corners of the map, from such large population hubs as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco and others to cities and towns so small ...

The result, the audacious ...
Meet Ari (ImpressARIo) Silverstein
by Tessa Souter and Andrea Wolper
Some people are jazz aficionados. Then there's Ari Silverstein. Hooked from the moment he saw the light of jazz, was he content merely to listen? Not Impress-Ari-o!

01. Kate Bush -Hounds of Love (EMI -1985). Negli ultimi quattro mesi l'ho ascoltato quasi tutti i giorni. Non mi annoia mai e suona sempre come la cosa più fresca mai ascoltata.

Brian Bromberg: Brian Bromberg
by Dave Wayne
Talk about backstory! There are multiple backstories going on with bass virtuoso Brian Bromberg's Full Circle. The first actually involves Bromberg's back. Full Circle marks Bromberg's return to recording and full-on playing since suffering a debilitating spinal injury several years ago. Always a chops-meister, Bromberg truly projects the sheer joy of music-making throughout. Cutting loose seems ...
