Expansions: The Dave Liebman Group: Samsara
by Dan Bilawsky
Trying to keep up with all of saxophonist Dave Liebman's musical exploits? Good luck. A year doesn't seem to go by when Liebman doesn't release multiple recordings with different bands on different labels.

Charles Lloyd: Manhattan Stories
by Vic Albani
È sempre più raro che il mercato discografico possa riesca a mettere le mani su, e poi pubblicare, gemme di particolare bellezza magari dimenticate in qualche cassetto oppure mai pubblicate prima per i più svariati motivi.

by Frank Rubolino

Take Five With Rik Wright
by AAJ Staff
Meet Rik Wright: A graph of Rik Wright's influences would read like a wave, running a gamut from jazz to rock and back again.

Mostly Other People Do the Killing: Blue
by Maurizio Comandini
Una domanda sorge spontanea: ma con questo Blue cosa volevano dimostrare? Il gruppo di Moppa Elliott si è scelto da subito un nome molto intrigante, Mostly Other People Do the Killing, che di sicuro non li fa passare inosservati. Poi, dal 2003, il quartetto ha cominciato un percorso artistico molto interessante che per certi versi fa ...
