Working the Rhythm Section: Tom Lawton, Lee Smith, and Dan Monaghan
by Victor L. Schermer
As Duke Ellington's standard goes, “It Don't Mean a Thing if it Ain't Got that Swing." The rhythm section (piano, bass, drums, with guitar and percussion sometimes added) is the core of the typical jazz ensemble. They set the frame for the leader, singer, and soloists and contribute their own solos as well. Even though they ...
All of You: The Last Tour 1960
by C. Michael Bailey
The problem with Miles Davis' 1960 European Tours has been one of programming. First to know is that Davis toured Europe twice in 1960: the first time with John Coltrane, March 21st to April 109th, and then with Sonny Stitt from September 27th to October 13th. The second thing to know is not every performance of ...

Michael Mantler: The Jazz Composer’s Orchestra Update
by Karl Ackermann
Trumpeter Michael Mantler has been a fixture on the US music scene for so long that it's easy to forget the global nature of his career.

Charles Lloyd: Manhattan Stories
by Vic Albani
È sempre più raro che il mercato discografico possa riesca a mettere le mani su, e poi pubblicare, gemme di particolare bellezza magari dimenticate in qualche cassetto oppure mai pubblicate prima per i più svariati motivi.

This second time around, however, there are special guests--vibraphonist Warren Wolf, organist Larry Goldings, saxophonist Steve Wilson--and a menu that consists almost entirely of classic R&B and soul ...
Charles Lloyd: Manhattan Stories
by Dan Bilawsky
Manhattan Stories is a trip back in time, a journey to a long gone and long-missed era. It's a window into the great Charles Lloyd's art at a period of transition. The shows presented on this beautifully packaged two-disc set--one recorded at the infamous Slugs' Saloon in the summer of 1965, the other recorded at Judson ...
Charles Lloyd: Manhattan Stories
by Mark Corroto
In most cases, the folklore of a happening is much stronger than the actual event. The “older I get, the better it was" credo applies to so much of the remembered past. Not so for the only documented recordings by Charles Lloyd's Quartet of guitarist Gábor Szabó, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Pete La Roca.
