The Pandemic Sessions: Solos, Part 2
by Mark Corroto
Part 1 | Part 2 The entire world was in lockdown during the COVID-19 crisis, and of course, that included musicians.

Instrumental Duos
by Karl Ackermann
The early days of jazz were not always harmonious. Converted dance orchestras often sounded like unbalanced acoustic junkyards; a single violin, cornet, trombone, clarinet, tuba, drums, banjo, and piano, all fighting for attention. The piano was meant to be the glue holding the shrill and boisterous elements together. In 1921 a prodigy pianist named Zez Confrey ...

Matthew Shipp: The Piano Equation
by Giuseppe Segala

Gard Nilssen, Sam Rivers, Laura Toxvaerd & Dan Blake
by Maurice Hogue

Solo Recordings for Non-Traditionalists
by Karl Ackermann
On January 24, 1975, a Bösendorfer 290 Imperial concert grand piano was to be wheeled onto the stage of the Cologne Opera House. Instead, a rehearsal piano, smaller, beaten-up, and out of tune, was the only instrument available to then twenty-nine-year-old piano prodigy Keith Jarrett. The pianist was not in much better shape than the piano. ...
