John Coltrane and the Meaning of Life

Read "John Coltrane and the Meaning of Life" reviewed by Douglas Groothuis

by Douglas Groothuis

Few jazz musicians inspire more respect or demand more attention than John Coltrane. Elvin Jones, Coltrane's drummer in “The Classic Quartet" (1961-65), said that most people who listen seriously to John Coltrane's music eventually acquire all of his recordings. I find that those who hear Coltrane for who he was want to hear all that he ...

Dopo averlo seguito in varie occasioni fin da quando ...

Music preview: Saxophone and trumpet duo travel beyond the jazz code

Music preview: Saxophone and trumpet duo travel beyond the jazz code

By Manny Theiner Chicago saxophonist Ken Vandermark is one of the most persuasive, personified arguments for why every state’s liquor laws should be amended to allow minors to attend concerts if accompanied by a parent or guardian. While still in his tweens, Ken was enjoying jazz clubs in his hometown of Boston at the side of ...

William Hooker & Liudas Mockūnas: Live at Vilnius Jazz Festival

Read "Live at Vilnius Jazz Festival" reviewed by John Sharpe

by John Sharpe

Veteran drummer William Hooker continues to expand his varied discography on the No Business imprint, with the addition of Live At Vilnius Jazz Festival. Like Crossing Points (2011) with the late reedman Thomas Chapin, it's a meeting with a resourceful saxophonist -this time Liudas Mockūnas, a co-founder of the label. But unlike the former encounter, on ...

Paal Nilssen-Love Large Unit: Erta Ale

Read "Erta Ale" reviewed by AAJ Staff

by AAJ Staff

Il batterista norvegese Paal Nilssen-Love è (giustamente) famoso per due cose. Per essere uno dei più straordinari strumentisti della sua generazione e per essere anche uno dei musicisti più attivi nel proporre -e documentare in modo quasi ossessivo-le tante facce della sua intensa attività di improvvisatore. Come molti colleghi, anche Nilssen-Love (che ...

Here are eleven new releases, reviewed at All About Jazz, which stood out from those I heard this year, in no special order. Nicole Mitchell The Secret Escapades of Velvet Anderson (Rogue Art Records) Sonic Projections must be flautist Nicole Mitchell's hardest blowing band. On their second outing she ...

Jakob Baekgaard's Best Releases of 2014

Read "Jakob Baekgaard's Best Releases of 2014" reviewed by Jakob Baekgaard

by Jakob Baekgaard

2014 proved to be another fruitful year for jazz. The artists on this list represent many different musical directions, but that is the wonder of jazz. It is so many things and the world would indeed be poorer if the idiom was restricted to one particular sound. These artists all have a fresh approach to the ...

konstruKt and Joe McPhee: Babylon: The First Meeting of Istanbul

Read "Babylon: The First Meeting of Istanbul" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

Taken at face value, konstruKt's catchphrase, “Free Jazz from Turkey," seems a tad pedestrian. But, if one considers Turkey's place in the world-literally the crossing point between Asia and Europe-its crazy-quilt ethnic diversity, and its continued religious and political unrest, it's a fitting metaphor. Oddly, most of the band's recorded output features invited guest artists from ...
