Ambassador Satch in Philadelphia
by AAJ Staff
Ambassador Satch, a world premier musical portrait of Louis Armstrong, now playing at the Prince Music Theater through March 9, is, like its subject matter, a joy to behold. The show, and “show” is what it really is, features co-writer André De Shields as Louis, a first class five piece jazz band directed by Terry Waldo ...
Various: The Philadelphia Experiment Remixed
by AAJ Staff
The original Philadelphia Experiment was the result of a virtually impromptu three day long jam session involving the supremely talented Christian McBride (bass), Ahmir “?uestlove" Thompson (drums, also from the Roots), Uri Caine (keyboards) and Pat Martino (guitar). It turned out to be one of 2001's best-selling jazz records. The remix project is presided over by ...
Uri Caine / Christian McBride / Ahmir Thompson: The Philadelphia Experiment
by Richard Anderson
List the capital cities of jazz and one finds the usual suspects--New York, San Francisco, New Orleans, Chicago--but one city is too often forgotten: Philadelphia. Yes, the City of Brotherly Love, so often the butt of jokes and unkind (if not always inaccurate) characterizations. Say what you want about the city of Benjamin Franklin and Mayor ...
Meet Duane Eubanks
by AAJ Staff
Duane Eubanks is the youngest practicing member of yet another one of jazz's famous families, the Eubanks.

Uri Caine / Christian McBride / Ahmir Thompson: The Philadelphia Experiment
by Todd S. Jenkins
Just what is it that makes Philadelphia such a darned soulful city? Is it all that brotherly love floating around, or the deep funk fermented by undying Phillies fandom? All the cholesterol in those cheesesteaks, maybe? Whatever the case, the city has a profound and enduring musical legacy, from Sun Ra to T.S.O.P., Grover Washington Jr. ...
Carl Grubbs
by Robert Spencer
Carl Grubbs is an alto and soprano saxophonist from Philadelphia with a singularly distinctive family tree: his cousin is Naima herself, who as John Coltrane's wife inspired one of the most beautiful ballads in jazz. Coltrane was close to Carl's section of the family, and he was quick to teach Carl a thing or two on ...
Suzanne Cloud: Looking Back
by AAJ Staff
Suzanne Cloud's last release, 1995's With A Little Help From My Friends , somewhat distanced while delighting the listener through irony and a liberal political view upon current events. Her current release, Looking Back , draws the listener into her heart. The recent loss of her husband catalyzed Cloud's spirit into a personal retrospective ...
Toots Sweet
by AAJ Staff
When most people think of the harmonica, they usually picture Ackroyd and Belushi soulin' it up in black suits, southern fried wah-wah blues or a scene from within a jail cell at state prison. Now that's not jazz. But, one man managed to create something unique with the harmonica that no one could ever imagine in ...
