Am I "Jazz People?"
by Bruce Lindsay
I rarely write anything too serious in a JazzLife UK article and, for the most part, this month's missive will be no different. However, the summer of 2010 started very sadly for UK jazz with the deaths of four popular, talented and influential musicians, and it seems appropriate to write a few words to remember each ...
Norwich Jazz Party 2010

Norwich Jazz Party Norwich, UK May 1-3, 2010 Norwich may well be one of the loveliest cities in Britain, but the May Day holiday weekend was wet and miserable, volcanic ash from Iceland was still threatening travel plans and even the exciting prospect of a General Election the following week ...
The State of Harry Allen 2010
by C. Michael Bailey
Tenor saxophonist Harry Allen is a keeper of the flame. His understated and well- studied saxophone style covers everyone from Frankie Trumbauer to Coleman Hawkins. He is a scholar of melody and vibe, and has the keen ability to interpret standards with an uncanny and swinging precision that should be used as the standard for jazz ...
Harry Allen: New York State of Mind
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The big, fat, warm and tender tone of Harry Allen's tenor saxophone is impossible to miss.

Rossano Sportiello: Piano on My Mind
by Robert R. Calder
Eastwood Lane was an American pastoral woodland that composer Bix Beiderbecke admired; his “Down Stream" opens this solo second CD by the young Italian pianist Rossano Sportiello as a peaceful atmospheric etude. “Blowin' Up" is the pianist's own, featuring a boppish theme with a running left hand. It slips into a string of ballads, “You Took ...
Rossano Sportiello: Milano Stride Piano
by Robert R. Calder
Starbucks Edinburgh Jazz Festival The Hub Edinburgh August 6, 2005The cliches supplied in the programme blurb about this concert were wrong. The pianist isn't an Earl Hines-Jelly Roll Morton specialist. He's been a pupil of Barry Harris, and his music includes beside a Dave McKenna walking left hand some bebop, ...
