Jack Wilkins: Playing What He's Preaching

Read "Jack Wilkins: Playing What He's Preaching" reviewed by Rob Rosenblum

Claire Daly ...

Another year is almost in the books. And while there were many things to fret about in 2016, a lack of good music wasn't one of them.

Sonny and Horace: 1959

On Thursday, March 5, 1959, the Sonny Rollins Trio and the Horace Silver Quintet were in Zurich on a joint European tour. Interestingly, Sonny and Silver were at different points in their careers.
