Bob Mover: My Heart Tells Me
by Larry Taylor
Jazz saxophone veteran Bob Mover has put together a very satisfying two-disc release, My Heart Tell Me, with both swinging instrumentals and his very effective,unadorned vocals.

Kenny Barron/Gerry Gibbs/Ron Carter: Gerry Gibbs Thrasher Dream Trio
by Dan McClenaghan

Woody Shaw: The Complete Muse Sessions
by John Kelman

by John Kelman
Fondazione Siena Jazz Summer WorkshopSiena, ItalyJuly 24-August 7, 2013While there are those who continue to suggest that the death knell for jazz has been sounded--and loudly--they're clearly not looking at the vast number of young musicians studying the music, both privately and, increasingly, in university programs.
