Why George Russell Will Always Live in Time
by Raul d'Gama Rose
A measure of just how underrated a musician he was in his lifetime is reflected in the fact that even three days after he passed on most of the major publications had not even reported his death, much less celebrated his life in the glowing terms that he so richly deserved. Perhaps this was because oddly ...
Scott Tinkler: Trumpet Down Under
by Ludwig vanTrikt
Bassist/composer Lindsey Horner recently said, “I think one thing that has really changed in the past quarter century is that the music has become so broad, so truly international and genre-encompassing that the days when jazz was one very definable, finite thing are well and truly gone."

John Stowell: Solitary Tales
by John Barron
An entire disc of solo, improvised guitar music could easily run the risk of sounding like one continuous tune. Fortunately, Portand, Oregon-based guitarist John Stowell applies enough depth and open-minded searching to his nylon-string guitar to keep things interesting throughout Solitary Tales. The eleven-track disc was recorded live at the home of master guitar luthier Mike ...

But then, why waste time trying to do what many would, which is put anything new in a category? This is wildly new music, fresh in its approach to the collision of melody, harmony and rhythm that ...
