Rahsaan Roland Kirk: Seek & Listen: Live At The Penthouse
by Jack Kenny
Few figures in jazz history have embodied the word original quite like Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Sightless from infancy, yet bursting with boundless vision, he turned live performance into theatre, ritual and revelation.

Teddy Pantelas Trio: Shadow Warrior
by Mark Corroto
There is no denying the importance of place when it comes to a jazz musician's sound. Louis Armstrong will forever be tied to New Orleans, and Sonny Rollins to New York.
