Steve Khan: The Green Field
by John Kelman
Nine years have passed since guitarist Steve Khan last released an album as a leader. But he hasn't been inactive, touring with artists like Terri Lyne Carrington and Greg Osby and co-leading the Caribbean Jazz Project. However, it's been far too long since he's released an album putting his immediately recognizable style front and centre.
Thelonious Monk: The Classic Quartet
by Chris May
Intermittently available over the years on various labels and in various guises (most recently as Thelonious Monk Quartet in Japan and 1963: In Japan), this album catches Monk on the cusp between his unflaggingly inventive, mould-breaking Riverside years and his less consistently exploratory, later period with CBS. Clocking in at just over 38 minutes, The Classic ...

Thelonious Monk: Thelonious Alone in San Francisco
by David Rickert
Thelonious Monk's solo recordings offer fascinating insight into the compositional and improvisational talents of one of music's true oddballs, and Alone In San Francisco is widely considered to be his best in this format. Unencumbered by bass and drums, Monk is at his most introspective, taking advantage of the liquid tempo to patiently work ...
Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane: At Carnegie Hall
by Jim Santella
We need more surprises like this one. Discovered by accident during a routine transfer of tapes to digital format, the Library of Congress found a gem. Monk and Coltrane gave their November 29, 1957 Carnegie Hall audience a precious performance. The transfer to digital sound files from a 7 ½-inch tape reel has left their music ...
Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane: At Carnegie Hall
by David Rickert
Thelonious Monk's quartet with John Coltrane was one of the greatest groups in the history of jazz, but most of us have only been able to take other people's word for it. The group's reputation rests mostly on its live performances at the Five Spot, of which only an amateur recording of poor quality exists, and ...
Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane: At Carnegie Hall
by Norman Weinstein
Let's be clear from the start: this discovery of a new Monk/Coltrane live concert completely puts to shame the over-hyped Five Spot CD from years ago. Not only is the sound as sterling and clear as the sound on the Five Spot date was excretory, but the performances of the stars are light years beyond that ...
The Future of Jazz
by Nathan Holaway
I believe it was Thelonious Monk that was once asked: “Where do you see jazz going from here?" and his response was telling: “Wherever we take it!" With that being said, I thought it would be a scintillating idea to report on some current jazz artists whom many have said are “paving the way towards the ...
