The London Jazz Festival
by Nick Catalano
A fitting climax to my stay here in London was the jazz festival which has become something of a major classic.

Mazza, a 1995 semi-finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition, might ruffle the feathers of jazz traditionalists with overdubbing and use of steel string acoustic (in open tunings no less), but the ...
