Lots of special events on the jazz scene this week, from the final two nights of Adam Meckler Quintet's live recording sessions and the season finale of the All Originals Jazz Series to the jazz components of the Bridge Chamber Music Festival in Northfield, and a stellar line-up of visiting artists from Kansas City bassist Bob ...

Another week featuring our youngest jazzers as well as our elders, sometimes together on the same gig.

The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Live Jazz, August 7-13
Summer means more venues for jazz and music of all sorts. There's festivals, patios, and now even breweries with mini-fests and outdoor stages. All of which means there are more, and harder, choices to be made. This weekend, the Lowertown Guitar Festival invades Mears Park, bringing guitars of all shapes, sizes and genres. Weekly jazz series ...

The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Live Jazz, July 24-30
It seems like we have a jazz festival every weekend this summer—if not an event so named, at least there are enough concerts and gigs to choose from that it seems like an endless celebration. This week we celebrate CD releases, homecomings and reunions; there's at least one “jazz festival" in the region, and Sommerfest brings ...

The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Live Jazz, July 10-16
Whew, back to normal after two long weekends of jazz festivals. Although what is “normal" on the local jazz scene? There seem to be more and more options, even as some old favorites disappear. We mourn the decision to discontinue music at Fireside Pizza, another casualty of ASCAP/BMI licensing fees. Hopefully Denny Malmberg and Charmin Michelle ...
The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Live Jazz, July 3-9
Is it difficult to come down from a jazz festival high? I'll let you know when I come down. After three solid days of music at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival, I am off to another three-day extravaganza, the Iowa City Jazz Festival (July 2-4), where I expect to see a couple dozen Twin Citians as ...
