Musical Talent Is (Now and Then) All in the Family
by Jack Bowers
The induction of almost the entire Marsalis family (father Ellis, piano, and sons Wynton, trumpet; Branford, saxophones; Delfeayo, trombone; and Jason, drums) set me to thinking about how musical talent sometimes runs in families. In the pop world, almost everyone knows about the Jacksons, the Kings, the Osmonds and others. The same is true in jazz, ...
Bill Carrothers: Joy Spring
by Dan Bilawsky
Tribute albums often come in the form of imitative musical gestures from musicians of a like-instrument--such as a saxophonist paying tribute to John Coltrane by trying to copy his style or specific mannerisms.

Clifford Brown / Sonny Rollins / Max Roach Quintet: Complete Studio Recordings
by Eric J. Iannelli
Even now, fifty-three years after Clifford Brown's untimely death (a multiple tragedy that also took the lives of pianist Richie Powell and his wife), his recordings are still being mined for fresh--or rather, refreshed-- releases. Although it's not entirely clear why this particular lineup merits this particular release at this particular time, any Brownie is good ...
