The Mancini Project
by AAJ Italy Staff
MusicAgorà Auditorium Fabrizio De André - Castelverde - 12.04.2010 The Mancini Project non è il solito tributo-omaggio più o meno riuscito, più o meno geniale, più o meno rispettoso al solito artista dimenticato o sottovalutato.

Ralph Lalama: Steppin' Out, Steppin' Forward
by R.J. DeLuke
Ralph Lalama's rich tenor saxophone voice has been heard for years on the New York City scene, perhaps most notably with the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra and its predecessors, first led by Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, and later by just Lewis.

Ted Nash Helps Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra Expand Repertoire

Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis
If mainstream jazz has what could be considered an ambassador in 2009, it's Wynton Marsalis. A member of jazz royalty practically from the moment he could hold a horn, Marsalis rolled into the sprawling Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Saturday night with his Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, a taut, 15-piece group he's directed since ...
