Kenny Wheeler: One of Many
by John Kelman
In a 2001 Norma Winstone interview, the British vocalist referred to Kenny Wheeler as “the Duke Ellington of our time." Wheeler, whose reputation has grown almost in spite of his own quiet humility, may not possess Ellington's populist cachet, but that doesn't mean the trumpeter's music is any less distinctive or groundbreaking, and with no small ...

Accurate Records: Growing Out of Boston
by Jakob Baekgaard
In the age of globalization, when almost every musician churns out his or her own record digitally, the boundary between being a one-man business and a record company is porous. However, while many of the new labels remain dedicated to a small circle of artists, there is also the more rarified example of the musician-based label ...
Norma Winstone - Klaus Gesing - Glauco Venier: Stories Yet to Tell
by AAJ Italy Staff
A due anni da Distances, torna il trio di Norma Winstone, con Glauco Venier al pianoforte e Klaus Gesing alle ance.

Lauren Hooker: Life Of The Music
by Bruce Lindsay
Singer and pianist Lauren Hooker takes chances on Life Of The Music, her second album. She sets her own compositions up against classics of American music, re-works old favourites and uses some vocal shifts and inflections that other singers might think twice about. And thank goodness she does, because in doing so Hooker has assembled a ...

Ken Wheeler & The John Dankworth Orchestra: Windmill Tilter
by John Kelman
Long considered a holy grail of British jazz, trumpet legend/iconic composer Kenny Wheeler's classic 1969 Fontana leader debut, Windmill Tilter, has remained curiously out of print--never, in fact, appearing legitimately on CD.Until now.

Norma Winstone - Stories yet to Tell (2010)
By Mark Saleski A variant of the “I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this" thing is the phenomenon of incomplete Déjà Vu. This occurs when you hear a piece of music and it seems totally familiar...except...hmmm...what was it? The music of vocalist Norma Winstone reminds me of my Aunt Rose's figurine collection. ...
