Prescribing Jazz: A Top Ten
by Artur Moral
National Doctors' Day is celebrated unevenly across our mistreated planet. It is absent in most countries, while it is observed as a holiday in a few. Coinciding (in the United States and Australia) with this day of recognition for a vital profession, this article is especially directed to the entire jazz-loving medical community, focusing on six ...
Reggie Watkins: Rivers
by Paul Rauch
Jazz on an international scale is actually just a network of smaller, local jazz scenes that in 2025 exist in virtually every nation on earth. Most of the music happens on the local scene, where the closest of musical alliances are formed. Trombonist Reggie Watkins has managed to take us to that sacred place on his ...
Paul Bley: Open, to Love
by Jack Kenny
Reviewing an album that is already heralded as a masterpiece, the highlight of the work of Paul Bley, is intimidating. The quality of the recording as issued on CD was already magnificent. Would it be enhanced on vinyl, revealing hidden depths? When Bley sat down at the piano in Oslo, he was already the ...
Michael Bisio: NuMBq
by Mark Corroto
Michael Bisio borrows the phrase “and now for something completely different" from Monty Python's Flying Circus to describe his new quartet, NuMBq. Joining the bassist is longtime collaborator Jay Rosen on drums, along with two musicians traditionally rooted in classical music: violist Melanie Dyer and English horn player Marianne Osiel.

Sophie Lüssi - Sandra Weiss - Fridolin Blumer - Andreas Wettstein: Atlantic Puffin
by Glenn Astarita
AllAboutBirds.org describes the Atlantic Puffin as “a sharply dressed black-and-white seabird with a huge, multicolored bill, the Atlantic Puffin is often called the clown of the sea." This album finds the foursome gleefully tossing classical precision, folk whispers and improvisational bravado into a blender, hitting pulse until it is a cohesive, if occasionally slippery, ...
Moving On Music: Literal Magic
by Ian Patterson
2025 marks the 30th anniversary of Moving On Music (MOM), one of Ireland's finest music promotion companies. There will probably be little hoopla, no big party and probably not even a cake.

The 1,400th Edition Of One Man’s Jazz
by Maurice Hogue
When you're older than dirt like I am, each show completed is a milestone, and happily, I'm still around to arrive at 1,400 in the life of this show. For some of these milestones, I try to do something a little different. I always say this show is about the music and the people who make ...
Tarbaby: Dee Dee
by Carl Medsker
Tarbaby (Orrin Evans, Eric Revis and Nasheet Waits) makes the case in the first measures of “Dee Dee" that You Think This America is a fresh take on the traditional jazz piano trio. The album consists of an eclectic set of pieces performed live by three leaders with deep experience together. First performed by Ornette Coleman ...
