Otomo Yoshihide: Plays Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch
by A. Henkin
Eric Dolphy's final studio album is hailed as one of the finest examples of mid-'60s post bop. Its reputation is purely one of backwards significance. Dolphy, having recorded the album in February 1964, was in Europe less than six weeks later and was dead less than two months after that. Though likely he never held a ...

Aaron Weinstein: A Handful of Stars
by Ken Dryden
Nineteen-year-old violinist Aaron Weinstein makes an impressive debut as a leader with this session of swinging jazz. His approach to his instrument is closest to that of Joe Venuti, though he tends to start each selection rather conservatively before loosening up and interacting with his seasoned rhythm section of Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar), Nicki Parrott (bass) and ...

Mose Allison: Ramblin' with Mose
by Joel Roberts
Through a career spanning a half-century, Mose Allison has been known mostly for his bluesy hipster vocals and comical compositions like “Your Mind is on Vacation, But Your Mouth is Working Overtime. But he's also a fine bebop-flavored pianist who even spent time back in the '50s in the rhythm sections of such jazz titans as ...
John McNeil: East Coast Cool
by Brian P. Lonergan
Trumpeter/composer John McNeil is after a “third stream of sorts with East Coast Cool. His avowed purpose is to meld the cool jazz feel of the Gerry Mulligan/Chet Baker quartet (which featured baritone sax and trumpet, but no piano) with the more decentralized approach and edge of modern free jazz. While it's impossible to know how ...
Jerry Gonzalez & The Fort Apache Band: Rumba Buhaina: The Music of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
by Francis Lo Kee
Art Blakey didn't literally write books, but it could be said that he “wrote the book : first, on jazz drumming, incorporating the essence of swing, extroverted drum solos and some genuinely unique beats that have escaped deeper absorption by contemporary drummers; second, on bandleading, constantly scouting and presenting great (often, younger) talent; and third, on ...
Ken Vandermark: The Color of Memory
by A. Henkin
Music is the only creative endeavour where fans spend much of their time lamenting over impermanence. There are still those who disregard any Mahavishnu Orchestra that doesn't have Jan Hammer in it or shudder at the thought of Led Zeppelin with Jason Bonham. But these fans would do well to keep in mind that Pink Floyd ...
