Junity? No, that's not a misprint.

These two men have been playing together for nearly a decade, appearing together ...

Horace Silver: Recollections and Retrospections
by Nick Catalano
In the halcyon days of the first Birdland (the early 50's) Monday night was jam session night and the house rhythm section featured a young pianist named Horace Silver. Though in his early 20's (he was born in 1928) Silver appeared much younger and his diminutive figure at the keyboard is still etched in my mind ...

The Amazing Bud Powell, Volumes 1 and 2 – Blue Note 1503 and 1504
by Marc Davis
In the pantheon of bebop's Founding Fathers, there are three giants. Everyone knows Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Everyone forgets Bud Powell.

Wayne Shorter Quartet Plays National Concert Hall, Dublin, June 14
The Wayne Shorter Quartet gig at the National Concert Hall, Dublin, Saturday June 14, is an unmissable, possibly never to be repeated event. At eighty, Shorter commands the sort of respect and devotion reserved for very few living jazz musicians. Perhaps only tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins enjoys the same degree of adulation in jazz circles, but ...
King William Jazz Collective: King William Jazz Collective
by Jack Bowers
About four years before this splendid album was recorded, the King William Jazz Collective performed its first gig in San Antonio's historic King William district. While that alone could be impetus enough on which to hang a name, there's more, as the band's baritone saxophonist / music director happens to be King, William (at least in ...
