Frank Kimbrough: Important Every Time
by Celeste Sunderland
Moonshine and church music flowed plentifully in backcountry North Carolina in the early '70s when a teenaged Frank Kimbrough saw the Bill Evans Trio on television. Suddenly the link between the young pianist's classical training and rock band elation became strikingly clear. “It struck me right away--the perfect combination, the discipline of what ...
Sinatra pianist Bill Miller dies at 91
Bill Miller, who was Frank Sinatra's pianist for nearly 50 years until the singer's last performance in 1995, has died. He was 91. Miller died Tuesday at a Montreal hospital of complications from a heart attack, his daughter, Meredith, told the Los Angeles Times. “Bill Miller was the greatest accompanist that any popular singer ever had," ...
Coming Of Age: Life, on the Road to Parnassus
by AAJ Staff
By Pete Malinverni One day you turn around and realize that, by now, in your 40s, you have lived--and are living--the life of a musician. For me, this was not accidental--years of practice, study, gigs, listening, all of that--but I enjoy looking back at decisions taken that led me to the exact point at which I ...
Shot x Shot: Shot x Shot
by Tom Greenland
Shot x Shot is a group of four young musicians from Philadelphia--Bryan Roger (tenor sax), Dan Capecchi (drums), Dan Scofield (alto sax) and Matt Engle (bass)--who play with a free-roaming, exploratory spirit coupled to a precociously mature sense of pacing and restraint. Recorded in St. Mary's Church, this self-titled disc emits an ethereal ambiance, from the ...
Toru Dodo: Dodo 3
by Brian P. Lonergan
Toru Dodo's name may not be at the top of people's lists of riveting jazz pianists--yet--but with recordings like Dodo3, such recognition could come soon enough. The album is full of catchy compositions that showcase Dodo's individual, unique and modern voice; his acrobatic trio mates--Joseph Lepore on bass and Rodney Green on drums--fly around complicated structures ...
Lew Tabackin: Tanuki's Night Out

Herb Robertson and the Space Cadets: Sketches from the Other Side, For A.I.
by Sean Patrick Fitzell
Despite his identifiable, idiosyncratic sound and highly creative output, trumpeter Herb Robertson is often overlooked. Perhaps this is a consequence of the seeming paucity of leader releases since his days on JMT. But this may change, as he forays into the realm of artist-run labels with Sketches from the Other Side, For A.I., the inaugural release ...
The Harry Allen-Joe Cohn Quartet: Hey, Look Me Over
by Marcia Hillman
As written in the liner notes, Harry Allen and Joe Cohn “fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Joined by Joel Forbes (bass) and Chuck Riggs (drums), Allen's tenor sax and Cohn's guitar play their way through several originals and a collection of standards that have not been overexposed. Both Allen and ...
Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville 2006
by Mathieu Belanger
On paper, the line-up of the 23rd edition of the Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville (FIMAV) looked audacious: a predominance of voice-oriented projects, some questionable meetings, three concerts with Mike Patton, etc. This suggested an unpredictable outcome. Yet, a recurring complaint was the lack of jazz and related forms of improvised music. Considering that ...
