John Scofield: This Meets That
by Karen Hogg
Guitarist John Scofield's This Meets That is a trio record--sort of. While Scofield has old friends and collaborators Steve Swallow and Bill Stewart on board as his rhythm section, the guitarist also enlisted quite a horn section for this venture: Roger Rosenberg, Lawrence Feldman, Jim Pugh and John Swana add a harmonic lushness and punch to ...
Dafnis Prieto: Taking the Soul for a Walk
by Martin Longley
Cuban drummer/percussionist Dafnis Prieto has been living in New York since 1999, making a significant mark on both the Latin and jazz scenes.

Mario Pavone: Trio Arc
by Robert Iannapollo
Bassist Mario Pavone's first recording was as a member of pianist Paul Bley's trio on the little-heard 1968 release Canada (Radio Canada International). This was when Bley's trio was at the peak of its acoustic glory, but Pavone's tenure was short-lived as Bley moved into an electronic phase shortly after. Pavone would go on after to ...

Song for Chico, O'Farrill's tribute to his legendary father, evinces the influences of South American rhythms, hard bop and what might be termed “post-Latin," representing the latest branchings of ...

That show registered as the first official full-length jazz program ever held at ...
