by Jack Bowers

Houston Person: So Nice
by Greg Simmons
Mom's meatloaf is wonderfully predictable. You always know what you're going to get, and after decades, you've come to rely on it. Why? Because there's something intimately reassuring about knowing that when you go back for more, it's the same as the last time. A recipe change would be simply unthinkable. It's comfort food. Oh, and ...

Yusef Lateef: Eastern Sounds Turns 50
by Alan Bryson
Think back fifty years to the days portrayed on the TV series Mad Men. In 1961, John Kennedy and Billboard's Easy Listening Chart were inaugurated, a freedom riders bus was fire-bombed in Alabama, Rock Hudson was on the big screen, and Doris Day was selling albums. As teenagers and their swinging parents were ...
Randy Weston: Blue Moses
by Eugene Holley, Jr.
Brooklyn-born, six-foot-seven octogenarian pianist/composer Randy Weston has literally been a larger-than-life jazz force for six decades: his percussive pianism was forged from a distinguished keyboard continuum, ranging from Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk to John Lewis; his “Little Niles" and “Hi-Fly" are well-worn jazz standards; and the pianist may well be the greatest exponent of the ...

Sonny Rollins: On Impulse / There Will Never Be Another You
by Greg Simmons
What could be better than an album by Sonny Rollins? Two albums by Sonny Rollins, especially a reissue of two treasured Impulse! releases--On Impulse! (1965) and There Will Never Be Another You (1978)--in their entirety, on a single 75-minute CD. That's a lot of satisfying tenor time with the Saxophone Colossus. On the heels ...
Forgotten Series: Pat Martino - El Hombre (1967)
By Mark Saleski Given the fact that Pat Martino had played with some of the biggest B3 players in the business (including Jack McDuff and the great Jimmy Smith), it probably surprised no one that Martino's first solo release carried on in that blues and groove-based organ trio vein. What surprises me about this, decades later, ...
Jackie McLean: New Soil
by Greg Simmons
Jackie McLean's New Soil, is not the most acclaimed album in the classic Blue Note catalogue, but this 1959 release deserves more attention that it gets, being supremely well-played, well-written and--within the limitations of its time--well-recorded. This vinyl reissue, remastered from the original tapes by the good folks at Acous-Tech, is part of a series of ...
