In search of good jazz radio. What's your favorite station?
by Michael Ricci
Thanks to emerging technologies, music discovery options have grown over the last decade: From streaming services like Spotify, Pandora and YouTube, to music mapping options found at Amazon, to apps, to websites like All About Jazz--they all assist us in our mission to find new music. Despite all of the music discovery possibilities, however, ...
Thomas Marriott: Urban Folklore
by Stefano Merighi
Il quartetto di Thomas Marriott in questione rappresenta una bella sintesi del jazz americano: Marriott da Seattle, Eric Revis californiano, Orrin Evans erede della scuola di Philadelphia, infine Donald Edwards da New Orleans. Ma le origini non condizionano più di tanto una musica ecumenica, che vive sulla brillantezza tecnica, su un “esperanto" jazzistico che, se poco ...
Sarah Partridge: I Never Thought I’d Be Here
by C. Michael Bailey

Hugo Fernandez: Cosmogram
by Jack Bowers
Of all the instruments in a group or orchestra, none has a broader or more variable sonic profile than the guitar. When it is played properly, with earnestness and sincerity, a guitar can move the listener to tears; when it is used, however, is to elicit sounds that are best described as disquieting and cacophonous, that ...

Josh Nelson: Exploring Mars
by Dan Bilawsky
Exploring Mars is fueled by a love of science fiction, intellectual inquisitiveness, and musical inventiveness of the highest order. Pianist Josh Nelson, initially inspired by the landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars in the summer of 2012, put together a project that's musically expansive and wholly unique: It's safe to say that he's the first ...

Lucas Pino: No Net Nonet
by Jack Bowers
So there is hope after all. With so much jazz these days soaring into realms that are often uncharted and at times unfathomable, it is a pleasure to hear groups such as tenor saxophonist Lucas Pino's No Net Nonet, which are remarkably creative even as they adhere to the basic precepts of melody, harmony and rhythm. ...
John Stowell/Michael Zilber Quartet: Live Beauty
by Dan McClenaghan
Part of the appeal of the teaming of guitarist John Stowell with various “post Coltrane" saxophonists is the cool/hot dynamic. Stowell is the guy with a Zen restraint, the cool guy, his chords sometimes sounding as if they are ringing from frozen stalactite filaments in ice caves. Saxophonists? Some blow cool-- those of the Lester Young/Stan ...
