Penang Island Jazz Festival: Penang, Malaysia, Dec 1-4, 2011
by Ian Patterson
8th Penang Island Jazz FestivalPenang, MalaysiaDecember 1-4, 2011 For small, independent jazz festivals heavily reliant on private sector sponsorship, it can be a jungle out there.

Bill Cunliffe: That Time of Year
by C. Michael Bailey
West Coast pianist Bill Cunliffe has released a most welcome holiday disc in That Time of Year. With Christmas coming commercially before Halloween in bigger and more brazen waves each year, having the music of the season reduced to its sheer elements by a well-versed master is refreshing, if not spiritually reviving.

Crawford and tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine proved to be the two pillars of ...
Ray Charles - Singular Genius: The Complete ABC Singles (2011)
Ray Charles, sightless and orphaned by age 15, led a life that sounded like a blues song. But the range and scope of his talent could never be contained within one genre, no matter its lasting joys. A gifted performer on the piano, organ, clarinet and alto sax, Charles dabbled at first in Nat Cole-esque trio-jazz, ...
Ray Charles - Live in France 1961 DVD (2011)
Ray Charles, by this point, had left Atlantic for ABC-Paramount and was well on his way to becoming one of the 20th century's most important crossover artists—dabbling in everything from country to big band to adult contemporary music. Make no mistake, though, Charles was still a musician of staggering talent in the straight-ahead jazz idiom—as lovingly ...
