Matthew Shipp Announces Presidential Campaign
by Mark Corroto
I like to think about Matthew Shipp's music in the same light as that of Eric Dolphy and Charlie Parker.

by John Sharpe
On The Astral Revelations alto saxophonist Jemeel Moondoc breathes new vitality into the legacy of the loft jazz era where he first made his name.

Deborah Brown: Kansas City Here I Come

Deborah Brown is one of the most sophisticated of the latter genre. She is a true artist. She never wastes a note, inflection, or ...
