Alan Pasqua: Keys That Unlock Many Doors
by Jim Worsley
Recently, and just a few days before Thanksgiving (2019), I was thankful for the opportunity to have two separate conversations with renown pianist Alan Pasqua. As generous with his time and candid commentary as he is talented as a musician and composer, both conversations crashed the one-hour mark. For you non mathematicians, that is over two ...
David Sanborn: The Curtain Rises on Sanborn Sessions
by Jim Worsley
Listed alphabetically, as opposed to first, second, and third place, Cannonball Adderley, Charlie Parker, and David Sanborn are as good as it gets when discussing the best and most influential alto saxophone players of all-time. Now before you say what about Phil Woods or Kenny Garrett or any number of others, let me qualify that this ...
Adan Hagley: Insomnia
by Nigel Campbell
The Trinidad-born Nobel laureate, VS Naipaul, implied that Trinidad and Tobago was a country of mimic men, but its geographic location in the world and social history makes the pull of myriad sonic and rhythmic influences inevitable. Adan Hagley on his debut album, Insomnia, has made those connections from his wide listening palette. He cites Michel ...
Chick Corea: Mr. Eclectic
by Doug Collette
It's altogether plausible to posit Chick Corea's career as one of, if not the most, colorful in all of contemporary jazz.

His sous chefs, Christian McBride and Brian Blade, brought their own ...
Bob James, David Sanborn, and Marcus Miller: The Lost Tour
by Jim Worsley
Backing a new record with a live tour is, of course, standard practice. So, a tour in support of Double Vision (Warner Brothers, 1986) would be nothing out of the ordinary. The Bob James and David Sanborn classic, that also features Marcus Miller and Steve Gadd, proved to be visionary in its scope and profound in ...
Peter Erskine: Up Front, In Time, and On Call, Part 2
