John Coltrane and the Meaning of Life
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 ...
A dialogo con Alessandro Lanzoni
by Neri Pollastri
Classe 1992, Alessandro Lanzoni ha già alle spalle un percorso artistico di tutto rispetto, collaborazioni con artisti di primo piano (giovanissimo, aveva già registrato con Lee Konitz) e riconoscimenti importanti (lo scorso anno ha vinto il referendum di Musica Jazz come miglior nuovo talento italiano). Dopo averlo seguito in varie occasioni fin da quando ...
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

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 ...

John Sharpe's Best Releases of 2014
by John Sharpe
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
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
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 ...
