Randy Brecker: Rocks
by Chris M. Slawecki
The easiest answer isn't always the best answer, but sometimes it is. So it's both easy and proper to point out that trumpet and flugelhorn master, composer, and bandleader Randy Brecker was kind enough to simultaneously review his release with the NDR Bigband, the Hamburg Radio Jazz Orchestra, when he titled it Rocks.

Bret Primack on Jazz Video and the Ira Gitler Documentary
by S.G Provizer
Since the 1990's, Bret Primack has probably been the most prolific video chronicler of jazz in the world.
