The Last Night At The Old Place
by Duncan Heining
By any standards the release of The Last Night At The Old Place will prove to be one of archive releases of the year, second only, perhaps, to the 'Lost' Coltrane album. All power, therefore, to Mike Gavin who has inherited the Cadillac catalogue from the late John Jack with his first release of archive material. ...
Massimo Colombo: Powell To The People
by Jim Worsley
Powell To The People could certainly be heard as a tribute to jazz pianist Bud Powell. It could just as easily be heard as an introduction to the legend's iconic music. It fulfills both categories with the emotion and virtuosity Powell exuded in his playing. Powell pioneered a new era of post swing bebop ...
Miles Davis, John Coltrane: The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6
by Maurizio Comandini
Quante volte avete sentito qualche appassionato affermare che Kind of Blue di Miles Davis è il miglior disco da consigliare ad un amico che vuole iniziare ad ascoltare il jazz? Bene, il consiglio è certamente pertinente, anche se ci sono ovviamente altri mille dischi che possono fungere da entry point. Con questo cofanetto di quattro CD ...
Miles Davis: Miles Davis & John Coltrane - The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6
by Doug Collette
It's a measure of Miles Davis' great respect for John Coltrane that the well-established jazz icon would ask the jazz icon in-the-making to do one more tour (of Europe) as the final component of latter's second stint in a quartet led by the man with the horn. The closure had begun with Coltrane's prior resignation, as ...

Six on Cellar Live
by C. Michael Bailey
Cory Weeds' record label Cellar Live has become a welcome home to straight-ahead mainstream jazz in the same way that Arbors Records has been the beacon for traditional jazz and swing. Think Norman Granz's Pablo label tele-transported deep into the 21st Century. Six recent releases illuminate Cellar Live's importance to jazz as a whole and to ...
Miles Davis: Miles Davis & John Coltrane - The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6
by Mike Jurkovic
As discussed at length in the liners by Ashley Kahn, the general consensus at the time (and a theory Miles' held strongly too) was that his landmark Quintet --Miles Davis, John Coltrane, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and flight fingered pianist Wynton Kelly--was on its last leg, and you could cut the personal and creative ...
GoGo Penguin: Just Another Band From The Small Blue Planet
by Ian Patterson
"Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star in a lost galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people." This somewhat gloomy prognosis might sound like a line straight from Douglas Adam's surrealistic comic novel ...
Full House
by C. Michael Bailey
Wes Montgomery's recording of his June 25, 1962 live performance at the Tsubo Jazz Club in Berkeley, California intersects significantly with two recent Resonance releases. One intersection involves the Wynton Kelly trio, comprised of pianist Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb. It was with this same trio that Montgomery would record his essential Wynton ...
Culture Clubs: A History of the U.S. Jazz Clubs, Part III: Kansas City, Philadelphia, Los Angeles & Beyond
by Karl Ackermann
Beyond the Hubs While New Orleans, Chicago, Kansas City and New York City were the incubators of modern jazz, they were by no means the only locations with an appetite for live music. Jazz artists whose point of origin could not sustain multiple venues ventured to locations near and far to practice their trade. ...
