Read "Time's Tales" reviewed by Ian Patterson


For several decades Jeff Ballard has been the first call drummer for a host of contemporary jazz's biggest names, notably pianist Brad Mehldau, with whom Ballard has played since 2005.

Bill Frisell: Big Sur

Read "Big Sur" reviewed by Glenn Astarita


Heralded guitar maestro Bill Frisell combines his 858 Quartet and Beautiful Dreamers units to impart another watermark on his Americana legacy, featuring an organic acoustic-electronic sketch of this picturesque area of California coastline. The album comprises nineteen-tracks, spanning Civil War-era country-chamber, undulating ostinatos, layered strings, parts, and even snippets of surf music on “The Big One." ...

Bill Frisell: Big Sur

Read "Big Sur" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

Read "Big Sur" reviewed by Ian Patterson


Big Sur, the mountainous coastal region of California lends itself to various geographical definitions--it isn't easy to pin down definitively.

The suite that ...

Michel Camilo: What's Up

Read "What's Up" reviewed by Larry Taylor


Jazz piano virtuoso Michel Camilo is known for his bombastic technique. For example, after a set at the Monterey Jazz Festival a couple of years ago, I stuck around and talked to the piano-tuner hired to rejuvenate the strings. He stood shaking his head in dismay after Camilo's hard driving workout, which had been a crowd-pleaser. ...
