Jack DeJohnette/Ravi Coltrane/Matthew Garrison: In Movement
by Karl Ackermann
There is something of the “six degrees of separation" theory at work in this newly formed trio, led loosely, by the great Jack DeJohnette. The drummer/multi-instrumentalist works in the company of saxophonist Ravi Coltrane whose lineage is well known, and bassist/electronic artist Matthew Garrison whose father Jimmy Garrison was the bassist in John Coltrane's classic quartet. ...
Naomi Moon Siegel: Shoebox View
by Dan McClenaghan
Trombonist Naomi Moon Siegel represents the new breed of jazz artists, the ones who have to make it all happen themselves.

Quasi tutte le tracce sono tratte da Miles Davis vol. 1, registrato tra il 1952 e il 1954. I rimanenti due brani si ritrovavano originariamente in Miles Davis vol. 2 e Something ...
Opening a month-long tribute to a jazz legend
Much attention will be paid throughout May to the musical legacy of trumpeter Miles Davis, who would have turned 90 this May 26.

Mac Gollehon: Mac Gollehon & The Hispanic Mechanics
by Paul Naser
It's not often you hear of Miles Davis complementing trumpet players, but apparently prolific studio player Mac Gollehon was one of the rare exceptions. Nicknamed “chops" by the jazz icon (according to myth anyway), Gollehon has a very impressive resume; arranging and playing lead trumpet on over 500 gold/platinum records, he worked with big names like ...

Blue Note On Blu-Ray
by Mark Werlin
Jazz music is best appreciated with “big ears" and an open mind. Just as exposure to new music casts older, familiar works in a different light, newer formats can expand a listener's perspective on the strengths and limitations of the original recordings. SACDs, Blu-Ray discs and hi-res downloads accurately represent the affective details of ...
