Hank Jones

by AAJ Staff
October 27, 2003

One of the first records I ever owned was Cannonball Adderley's Somethin' Else with Miles Davis, Sam Jones, Art Blakey, and the veritable Hank Jones.

Read "Suite For New York" reviewed by Nic Jones

by Nic Jones
October 15, 2003

The musical evocation of New York is nothing new. Julius Hemphill and Laura Nyro have done it before, and for all of the dissimilarities between their works their powers of evocation leave Jackson with a lot to live up to.

by David Liebman
October 14, 2003

There's no question that I am going to get pinned to the mat, condemned for being close minded, negative, purist, sour grapes and definitely politically incorrect for what I am writing. It is very specific, concerned with jazz musicians being hired to play in pop situations. It is not about musically “crossing over" which is another ...

By Cecil Bridgewater Creating music requires a place and an environment within which to create.
