Les Paul: Jazz Guitarist
by Samuel Chell
Perhaps the greatest revelation of Chasing Sound, the DVD based on the recent Public Broadcasting Service telecast of the career of Les Paul, is that the icon is still a conscious, thinking human being and performing musician. After that dubious birthday album American Made/World Played (EMI, 2005), which trumpeted the return of the inventor of the ...
Trey Anastasio: Saying More With Less
by Doug Collette
The cover graphic of guitarist/singer Trey Anastasio's new album depicts a train negotiating a precarious turn on a mountain precipice with ever-so-deft precision. It's an apt metaphor for Anastasio's post-Phish career and his vocation in general. The Horseshoe Curve betrays none of the overt marketplace compromise represented by Anastasio's Shine (Columbia, 2005). And while ...
Warren Haynes & Friends: Jamming For Charity
by Doug Collette
Guitarist Warren Haynes' prolific nature as a musician is matched by his great generosity of spirit. Since joining the Allman Brothers in 1989, and forming Gov't Mule in 1994, the North Carolina native has become a warrior of the road and the studio with both bands, while also serving as a lynchpin of the Phil Lesh ...
Art Lives: Two Newly Released Art Pepper Albums
by Mark Corroto
The story of saxophonist Art Pepper as documented in his autobiography Straight Life (Schirmer Books, 1979) is a remarkable one. The brash and extraordinarily talented Pepper followed saxophonist Charlie Parker into a life of addiction and for Pepper, prison. In between stints, he made some marvelous records, advancing Parker's bebop into a more personal statement. His ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
La documentazione discografica riguardante Anthony Braxton mantiene il consueto, serratissimo ritmo, gettando uno sguardo retrospettivo sul periodo databile nella metà del decennio scorso. Questo materiale sarà utile anche a comprendere meglio alcuni aspetti dell'attuale fase creativa del musicista chicagoano, in procinto di tornare in Italia (per la terza volta quest'anno), a ottobre, per un'inedita collaborazione con ...
Big Bands: William Parker and the Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra; UMO Jazz Orchestra; Nublu Jazz Orchestra; Kahil El'Zabar's Infinity Orchestra
by Seamus Seoighe
For a good 15-year period starting in the '30s, jazz in the incarnation of big band swing enjoyed its heyday at the helm of American pop. Out of this period came some of America's greatest composers, including Duke Ellington and Fletcher Henderson and, being pop music, some of America's schmaltziest, including the band credited with igniting ...
The Art of the Duo
by Ken Dryden
The pairing of a pianist and a reed player sans rhythm section always invites interesting possibilities. Three separate duos are all sessions worth exploring. Mike Nock & Dave Liebman Duologue Birdland Records 2007 Mike Nock, a New Zealand native but longtime Australia resident, is joined by saxophonist Dave ...
Eddie Henderson: The Doctor is In
by Ken Dryden
Now in his late 60s, Eddie Henderson was at one time torn between medicine and jazz; he completed training to be a psychiatrist but chose a performing career. The trumpeter has gone back and forth between fusion and various forms of bop, though he seems to be leaning more toward post-bop in recent years. ...
