Wayne Wallace Latin Jazz Quintet: Bien Bien!

Read "Bien Bien!" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

The State of Jazz Reissues 2009: Miles Davis and Art Pepper

Read "The State of Jazz Reissues 2009: Miles Davis and Art Pepper" reviewed by C. Michael Bailey

Jazz is a Romance language. It relies as much, if not more, on music already played and pondered over than that being performed right now, much less germinating in a musician's mind for the future. How does a classic become a classic if not through the passage of time and repeated listenings? The beauty ...
