Phil Broadhurst Quartet: Flaubert's Dance
by Florence Wetzel
The nineteenth century author Gustave Flaubert was famous for his phrase le mot juste, meaning “the right word." Flaubert believed in exactitude of expression, and his work is a testament to the harmony that results from precision. It's therefore not surprising that New Zealand pianist Phil Broadhurst has invoked the author on his superb Flaubert's Dance. ...
Charles Lloyd: Quartets
by John Kelman
ECM's Old & New Masters Edition series was not just created to bring material back into print.

Take Five With Guy Gardiner
by AAJ Staff
Meet Guy Gardner: I studied contemporary music at Dartington College of Arts.

Tommaso Starace: Simply Marvellous
by Bruce Lindsay

The tunes on Plays The Music Of Elliott Erwitt (Frame, 2006) were inspired by a series of pictures from one great photographer; another, Robert Capa, inspired the title track of Blood And Champagne (Music ...
Matteo Sabattini: Dawning
by Ian Patterson

Italian-born alto saxophonist Matteo Sabattini's New York Quintet builds a bridge between a melodic ...
