Miles Davis: Miles Davis at Newport 1955-1975: The Bootleg Series Vol. 4
by Maurizio Comandini
Il criterio utilizzato dai produttori della Sony Legacy, per questo quarto box della eccellente 'The Bootleg Series,' è piuttosto interessante e singolare: il legame che lega assieme varie performance di Miles Davis con i suoi vari gruppi, non è quello temporale come succede di solito, ma bensì quello spaziale, per di più preso in senso molto ...

by Dan Bilawsky
In recent years, life has thrown one obstacle after another at the feet of octogenarian clarinetist Mort Weiss.

by C. Michael Bailey
Musician and AAJ contributor Skip Heller calls the New Rhythm and Blues Quartet (NRBQ), “the greatest band of all time."

by Marc Davis
There are no bad records by Sonny Rollins, but some are better than others. This is one of the better ones. Sonny Rollins Volume Two is, as the name suggests, Rollins' second recording for Blue Note.

Andrew McCormack: First Light
by Vincenzo Roggero
L'origine britannica e la residenza newyorchese costituiscono il fil rouge che attraversa First Light album nel quale il pianista Andrew McCormack fonde in maniera convincente l'aplomb, la compostezza, l'eleganza anglosassone con la vivacità, la memoria storica, lo sguardo curioso di chi guarda al futuro tipici della scena della grande mela, scena da cui provengono peraltro il ...

The Lost Trio: Monkwork
by Dave Wayne
In the academic world, it's not unusual for someone to devote their scholarly energies to the study of a single, galvanizing individual and their life's work. Take Abraham Lincoln, for instance: the number of college professors and independent historians who've devoted their lives to thinking, speaking, and writing about Honest Abe is simply astounding.
