Joe Cocker 1944-2014
by C. Michael Bailey
For all of the boasting that the United States can do being the birthplace of every major popular music genre since 1920, the United States cannot claim the credit for the widespread popularization of this music. That honor goes to Europe, and more specifically, the United Kingdom, who more than any other country, forced the United ...

Billy Harper: A Life of Persistence and Improvisation
by R.J. DeLuke

There little physical gesticulation, belying the effort it takes to express feelings and emotions through the instrument. But Harper's creative statements demand attention.

Ricordiamo Gerald Wilson
by Angelo Leonardi
Era rimasto l'unico grande bandleader della Swing Era, Gerald Wilson, e la sua recente scomparsa (l'8 settembre scorso, a 96 anni) è stata ricordata dai principali media statunitensi con ampi necrologi.

Madeleine Peyroux: Keep Me In Your Heart For A While: The Best Of Madeleine Peyroux
by C. Michael Bailey
Vocalist and composer Madeleine Peyroux has a stylistic reach well beyond that of jazz. Her only peer in this respect is Nora Jones.
