Lou Donaldson: Lush Life

Read "Lush Life" reviewed by Jeff Stockton

by Jeff Stockton

Lou Donaldson's Lush Life is the sort of mysterious lost session that inexplicably fell through the cracks from time to time at Blue Note Records during their wildly productive 1960s and the sort of collectable that used to make vinyl hawks salivate. This January 1967 session, unreleased until 1980 when it debuted in Japan under a ...

Impressions of Eric Dolphy

Read "Impressions of Eric Dolphy" reviewed by Clifford Allen

by Clifford Allen

Note: The title refers to a composition by Prince Lasha, recorded on his 1966 UK CBS album Insight. The history of jazz is a recorded history, one that exists on commercially-issued albums (many of which, thankfully, are in print or have been reissued) as well as a vast amount of concert recordings passed ...

On a String and a Prayer

Read "On a String and a Prayer" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

By Christian Howes From a string player's point of view, gaining acceptance within the jazz community is a little like showing up for the first day at a new school with a big stain on your shirt. If you've ever walked into a jam session with a violin slung over your shoulder, you'd ...

Jane Ira Bloom: Mental Weather

Read "Mental Weather" reviewed by Martin Longley

by Martin Longley

Jane Ira Bloom is a pixie. An electronicized pixie, to be precise. This is not entirely a musical image, but also a description of her onstage demeanor. Mental Weather's chief quality is one of capering lightness, as the quartet leader's soprano saxophone negotiates the tricky lines set up by the composing half of her brain, navigating ...

Jason Kao Hwang / Edge: Stories Before Within

Read "Stories Before Within" reviewed by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

It is difficult to escape the storytelling element of the new release Stories Before Within. There's that title for one; the cover art prominently displays an open book and the first sentence in the liner notes emphatically declares, “as he prepared his new release by Edge, violinist-composer Jason Kao Hwang was thinking about storytelling."

Bill Holman: Hommage & The Lost Bill Holman Charts

Read "Bill Holman: Hommage & The Lost Bill Holman Charts" reviewed by Fred Bouchard

by Fred Bouchard

Bill Holman's varied and florescent career as composer-arranger shines on in the vanguard of a pack of scribes for Stan Kenton, Maynard Ferguson, Gerry Mulligan and Woody Herman. Playing tenor through the '50s for Kenton, Charlie Barnet and Shorty Rogers, Holman quit horn for pen in the '60s and has since proven a unique voice on ...
