Jazz Is For The Birds: An Aviary In Song
by Dan Bilawsky
In jazz--as in all else in life--different words mean different things to different people. The way we associate words or sounds with meaning is unique to the individual, but certain words tend to draw similar thoughts from within the jazz community. “Bird" is one such word. Whether you're an avant-garde aficionado, a “moldy fig," a modernist ...

by Mark F. Turner
In an arena that is overwhelmingly dominated by her male counterparts, bassist Linda May-Han Oh is going to be a force with which to be reckoned.

New Voices: Sarah Manning, John Escreet, Kneebody
by J Hunter

Sarah Manning - Dandelion Clock (2010)
By Pico“Finding your own voice" is such an overused phrase these days. That especially holds true in the music business, where such rote advice is handed out like doubloons at a Mardi Gras parade. The young, alto-tenor saxophone specialist Sarah Manning has heard those words herself, but probably since they came directly from sages ...
Sarah Manning: Dandelion Clock
by Raul d'Gama Rose
It takes a long time for the delightful shock of first hearing Sarah Manning's emphatic, almost blasé, voice--rich, tunefully accented and almost bronzed, as full as a sudden blast of sunshine. The first sounds of her alto saxophone are so indelibly burned in the memory that virtually everything else becomes a blur except undulating glissandos of ...
