Ensemble Novo: E Preciso Perdoar
by Carl Medsker
Sultry, sensuous, intimate. That longing for someone or some place. Ah, Brazilian music.

by Artur Moral
OK, maybe the electric guitar was its first and most celebrated love affair, but the organ's alliances with the saxophone's family members are undoubtedly among the richest musical combinations, both in terms of sound and the intense interrelationships that typically develop in such encounters.

by Jack Kenny
Noah Preminger is a philosophical, thought-through artist who can gauge the impact of his playing and his thinking on his intended audience.

Fantasy Box Set League
by Patrick Burnette
Box sets are back, baby!

Max Roach: Deeds, Not Words
by Richard J Salvucci
Sometimes, someone listens to a recording mostly for one track. This is such a recording. Quite naturally, it involves drummer Max Roach.

Remembering Roy Haynes: Modern Jazz Giant
by Ian Patterson
When Roy Haynes sat down at the tiny kit on the stage of the Everyman Theatre, during the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival in 2005, he shook his head ruefully and said, “Man, I feel like a midget!"
