1959: The Most Creative Year in Jazz
by Nathan Holaway
1959 was arguably the most creative year in all of jazz history. Bird had already passed away, and this year would see the passings of Lester Young and Billie Holiday.

Verneri Pohjola: Bullhorn
by Ian Patterson

Ziga Koritnik and The Eye
by John Kelman
In a time when cameras are more pervasive and invasive than they've ever been--with iPhones, iPads, Androids and low-price point-and-shoot devices lending the impression that everyone is a photographer--photo artists like Žiga Koritnik, paradoxically, stand out more than ever. Sure, anyone can take a picture, but to get to the heart of a subject and truly ...
