Wayne Escoffery: Veneration: Live At Smoke
by Budd Kopman
In jazz, the mainstream is defined by what the music is not, or lacks. It is jazz as a style, rather than an aesthetic, and is not a “modern" concept. Many musicians of the Swing era, when confronted with the avant-garde named bebop, chose, for many reasons, to keep playing what they knew, rather than join ...
Wayne Escoffery: Veneration: Live at Smoke
by Christopher Shoe
Saxophonist Wayne Escoffery's music is influenced by a long line of musicians, and on Veneration: Live at Smoke he takes a moment to pay homage to some of them. However, this live album, recorded at the New York club Smoke, is much more than a dedication to great musicians of the past. The disc showcases some ...
Louis Hayes and the Cannonball Legacy Band: Maximum Firepower
by Gaylord Smith

Papa John DeFrancesco: Desert Heat
by Michael P. Gladstone
From the perspective of family history, there wouldn't have been a Joey DeFrancesco, arguably the most famous of the contemporary interpreters of the Hammond B-3 organ, without the style that he learned from his father. John DeFrancesco moved to Philadelphia in 1967 and became part of the jazz scene there when his wife presented the former ...
Mike LeDonne: On Fire
by CJ Shearn
The organ combo, a time-tested format, can stick to your ribs like a good meal.
