Shamie Royston: Portraits
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist Shamie Royston shares more than familial bonds with her husband/drummer Rudy Royston and employer/sister/saxophonist Tia Fuller; she clearly shares their oft-demonstrated belief that music is about expressing oneself by placing your own personality and experiences into and onto your art. In truth, every artist worth their salt, knowingly or not, adheres to this philosophy in ...
John Daversa: Bursting Out of LA
by R.J. DeLuke
Seen in the hallways at California State University in Northridge, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, where he teaches big band arranging, jazz history and other music courses, John Daversa might be seen with his goatee, and dense, dark and curly hair, parted in the middle, and correctly sense he might be involved in one of the ...

String Theory 2013: Mark Kleinhaut & Hristo Vitchev

Ilia Skibinsky: The Passage
by Dan McClenaghan
The youthful saxophonist/composer Ilia Skibinsky strikes a thoughtful pose, gazing down at his horn on the nicely designed cover of his debut, The Passage.

Bruce Cox Core-Tet: Status Cymbals
by Dan Bilawsky
Drummer Bruce Cox may not be a household name in the jazz world, but he's studied, played and/or recorded with plenty of people who are.

Karl 2000: Karl 2000
by Karl Ackermann
Imagine a melding of saxophonist Albert Ayler's frenetic pacing and saxophonist Peter Brötzmann's raw power and the result would be the thematic nature of Karl 2000's self-titled debut. Though saxophonist Daniel Rovin is billed as this power trio's co-leader, he is clearly the musical force throughout this collection. Along with eight original improvisations, Karl 2000 includes ...
