by Richard J Salvucci
There are probably very people around in 2022 who could claim to remember a jazz controversy that pitted “moldy figs" against “progressives." In the 1940s and the 1950s, provoked in part by the advent of bebop, but, going back to the swing era, partisans of what was termed “New Orleans" style jazz or, pejoratively, “Dixieland," were ...

Grace Fox Big Band: Eleven O'Seven
by Jack Bowers
In the long history of jazz, it is rare for a teenage musician to establish a big band, let alone lead one. In fact (historians will have to verify this), it may never have happened.

Tania Gill Quartet: Disappearing Curiosities
by Troy Dostert
