Eric Dolphy: Musical Prophet: The Expanded 1963 New York Sessions
by Troy Dostert
Although his iconic Out to Lunch! (Blue Note, 1964) is one of a handful of undisputed avant-garde jazz masterpieces, Eric Dolphy's stature has never quite risen fully to the level of the jazz titans. Some of this is probably due to his untimely death at age 36, just as he was reaching new creative peaks; and ...
CTI on BGO
by Jakob Baekgaard
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." The echo of Charles Dickens' famous novel A Tale of Two Cities is suitable to describe the climate of jazz when Creed Taylor launched CTI.

Piani di Battaglia
by Alberto Bazzurro
Un elemento che salta all'occhio, in Stefano Battaglia, è la discrezione, come artista e come uomo. Uno dei tanti modi in cui lo rivela è il grande rispetto che ha per la musica altrui.

Mark Sherman: Truth Of Who I Am
by DanMichael Reyes
Vibraphonist Mark Sherman likes using the term consummate to describe musicians and colleagues that he's played with. While it would be difficult to speak to every notable musician that Sherman's played for and ask about their opinion about Juilliard graduate and professor, it is safe to assume that they would also describe Sherman as a consummate ...
