Steve Heckman Quintet: Search for Peace
by Dan Bilawsky
Saxophonist Steve Heckman's Search For Peace serves as something of a companion piece to his previous album--Born To Be Blue (Jazzed Media, 2013).

Well, for starters, Matt Clark played piano on Heckman's last date, but he's taken to ...

by C. Michael Bailey

On Search for Peace (a ...

Cool Music for Hot Weather: Sonny Clark
Now that wilting temperatures are here—at least in much of the northern hemisphere—Rifftides reader Larry Peterson suggests that Sonny Clark's Cool Struttin’ can bring welcome relief.

Alan Broadbent And NDR Bigband: America The Beautiful
by Edward Blanco
Being a part of the big band sound was an experience pianist Alan Broadbent embraced, endured and eventually, wanted to step away from. Orchestra music--comprised of boisterous reeds and brass sections--were far too loud and too big drowning out the finesse sounds of the acoustic piano. When Broadbent left the Woody Herman Big Band in 1972, ...
