Herb Geller is something of a mystery to many jazz fans.

For another, Herb rarely grants interviews, preferring to maintain his privacy while teaching and touring in ...

Beat Kaestli - Invitation (Chesky)
Swiss singer Beat Kaestli may seem a bit obvious, not to mention presumptuous in his sobriquet, but that's no reason to be bothered by an implied affinity with hipper times.

Rosario Giuliani - Lennie's Pennies (Dreyfus)
Italian altoist Rosario Giuliani isn't reticent about running down his influences. The title and lead track on his latest quartet disc sounds an appreciative salute to Lee Konitz. In the liners he checks off thanks to a handful of others including John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Joe Henderson and Sonny Rollins, though these seem influences more in ...

The First Set (the Ear Inn, April 25, 2010)

Bix and Louis floated by; King Oliver looked in the doorway; Don Byas and Count Basie sat a spell; ...
Multi-Reedist Steve Norton Interviewed at AAJ
Multi-reedist Steve Norton is best known for his work with the 1990s Boston-based band Debris. Debris was an ambitious, exuberant, puzzling band that puzzled together serialism, free jazz and funk. Their music is in equal measure exhilarating and exhausting. It was the combination, in part, that burned Norton out about ten years ago, as well as ...
