Alex Cline's Flower Garland Orchestra: Oceans of Vows
by John Kelman
Despite being a key participant in the “Left Coast" scene of more avant-leaning music from the American west coast--in particular, part of the Cryptogramophone imprint that, while less active than in its “glory days" during the first years of the new millennium--Alex Cline releases so infrequently as a leader that any new music from the percussionist/composer ...

Bill Frisell Bill Frisell: A Portrait A Film by Emma Franz2017 Not long after the film Bill Frisell: A Portrait begins to roll, Bonnie Raitt--one of the many high profile names that lend their thoughts about one of the most influential guitarists and composers of the past forty years to ...
Billy Mintz: Ugly Beautiful
by Dan McClenaghan
Drummer/composer Billy Mintz has a long career of enhancing the music of others with his percussive artistry, everyone from saxophonist Lee Konitz to pianist Hal Galper, to clarinet master Perry Robinson. His own discography as a leader is small, with frequent revisitations of a handful of original compositions that are as distinctive and as worthy of ...
StLJN Saturday Video Showcase: Julian Lage and Chris Eldridge
With appearances here this week by both Mike Stern and Ralph Towner, it's already been a good month in St. Louis for fans of jazz guitar, and it's not over yet.

Erik Friedlander: A Little Cello?
by Ian Patterson
Normally lumped into the 'miscellaneous instruments' category of jazz awards, the cello has been something of a bit player in the colorful history of jazz. That said, today there are arguably more cellists in jazz and contemporary improvised music--and some extraordinary ones at that--than ever before. One of the best known cellists is undoubtedly Erik Friedlander, ...

Il 2016 in rassegna
by AAJ Staff
Se nel 2016 il Guardian si è chiesto se il jazz stava entrando in una nuova età aurea ci sarà una ragione. In una confluenza di artisti affermati e nuove promesse, la vitalità dimostrata dalla musica che amiamo è rassicurante, e il mercato discografico lo conferma.

Il Meglio del 2016 Secondo Ludovico Granvassu
by Ludovico Granvassu
Che anno! La musica di alta qualità continua ad arrivare inarrestabile. La preparazione di questa lista è stata quasi dolorosa per la scelta crudele di limitare il numero dei CD a 12 e quello dei concerti a 10. Ma tant'è. Questi saranno CD e concerti che rimarranno per me indelebilmente legati al 2016, con una menzione ...

Il meglio del 2016 secondo Luca Canini
by Luca Canini
