Chamber Jazz
by Nick Catalano
The term “chamber jazz" has risen steadily in prominence in recent years and dealing with its essence is not a simple matter.

Stan Sulzmann/Marc Copland/Larry Grenadier/Bill Stewart: The Jigsaw
by John Kelman
In a move that on first glance seems more aimed at garnering him a broader audience than anything else, British sax legend Stan Sulzmann is teamed with a dream team of American players including pianist Marc Copland, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Bill Stewart for The Jigsaw. But if the grouping smells suspiciously of “session gig," ...
