Gunhild Carling: Jazz Is My Lifestyle

Read "Jazz Is My Lifestyle" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci

by Richard J Salvucci

Sometimes there is a tendency to take a performance less than seriously, especially if an artist uses a bit of self-satire as part of the act.

Ornette Coleman's and Horace Silver's "Lonely Woman" — A Disambiguation

Read "Ornette Coleman's and Horace Silver's "Lonely Woman" — A Disambiguation" reviewed by Artur Moral

by Artur Moral

Reality is filled with confusion and misunderstandings; some are suggestive or creative, while others are disappointing or, worse, malicious.

Xavier Lecouturier: I Remember Why Now

Read "I Remember Why Now" reviewed by Paul Rauch

by Paul Rauch

Wisdom is in part gathered by the realization that one can only be honest with oneself. There are no lies, only distractions and suppositions that put vision and truth at bay. The wisdom and truth that produces great music is not only arrived at by immersion into the art itself, but the immersion and subsequent understanding ...

Tom Caraher: Ninety Degrees

Read "Ninety Degrees" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

For his debut as leader, Irish saxophonist Tom Caraher has roped in some of the country's finest jazz musicians to bring his music to life. The album clocks in around the length of an old vinyl, which, for some tastes is ideal in terms of attention span--it is easy to overegg it these days, with digital ...
