Nice Jazz Festival 2018
by Martin McFie
Nice Jazz Festival Nice, France July 16-21, 2018 The 2018 Nice festival started like a damp squib when a crashing, flashing thunderstorm hit the city an hour before the opening.

Radka Toneff: Fairytales
by Gareth Thompson

She was aged thirty. The verdict was suicide caused by an overdose of sleeping pills. Toneff was born in 1952 and by her ...
George Kahn: Straight Ahead
by Dan McClenaghan
Los Angeles-based pianist George Kahn likes to think of the standard piano trio format as a gateway drug into jazz. He may be right.

He opens with the venerable “Body and Soul," a tune written in 1930, and launched ...
