by AAJ Staff
In memory of NEA Jazz Master, Phil Woods. This article was previously published in November 2002. All About Jazz: Looking back on the almost three decade history of your Quintet, one question springs immediately to mind. You've had the same rhythm section of Steve Gilmore on bass and Bill Goodwin on drums ever since ...
Losen Records: Jazz Around the World
by Jakob Baekgaard
Since the beginning, the Norwegian label Losen Records, which is run by the indefatigable Odd Gjelsnes, has not been satisfied with a replication of the so-called Nordic sound. Instead, Gjelsnes has literally spread himself around the world, with albums recorded in Australia, Sweden, South Africa, Norway and Spain. Gjelsnes is a true world citizen and the ...
Bob Belden Animation: Machine Language
by Vincenzo Roggero
Intorno all'anima, ai pensieri, ai sogni e ai sentimenti delle macchine sono stati versati fiumi d'inchiostro, così come più di un musicista ha cercato di fornire la personale interpretazione del problema.

Miles Davis: Miles Davis at Newport 1955-1975: The Bootleg Series Vol. 4
by Maurizio Comandini
Il criterio utilizzato dai produttori della Sony Legacy, per questo quarto box della eccellente 'The Bootleg Series,' è piuttosto interessante e singolare: il legame che lega assieme varie performance di Miles Davis con i suoi vari gruppi, non è quello temporale come succede di solito, ma bensì quello spaziale, per di più preso in senso molto ...
Hey, George Frazier—I’m 10 Years Old Over Here
by Brian Dunn
I went a little crazy when I discovered jazz as an 8-year-old kid. I already played trumpet in the school band, but none of that music swung. My ears begged for something with more energy and urgency. The family record collection was of little help. We owned precisely five albums, the jazziest of which was Herb ...

by Vincenzo Roggero
01. Area -1978 Gli dei se ne vanno, gli arrabbiati restano! (Ascolto -1978). Mi affascina il jazz-prog-rock... boh, come definirli gli Area? Quel pazzo di Fariselli e quel genio di Stratos.

Ada Rovatti: Disguise
by Dan McClenaghan
An initial spin of saxophonist Ada Rovatti's Disguise says she hasn't lost a step since 2009's The Green Factor (Piloo Records). There's still the judicious funk grooves, the tight arrangements, and catchy and distinctive melodies that make for an engaging and edifying listening experience. And she's still a wonderfully soulful saxophonist. These are quintet, ...
Spirits Rejoice! An Interview with Jazz and Religion Author Dr. Jason Bivins
by K. Shackelford
