Tyshawn Sorey: The Inner Spectrum of Variables
by Karl Ackermann
Tyshawn Sorey has realized a career's worth of accomplishments, accolades and appointments despite a professional resume that--with the exception of Vijay Iyer's Blood Sutra (Artist House, 2003)--is not quite ten years in the making.

2015: The Year in Jazz
by Ken Franckling
The year 2015 was a curious blend of ups and downs, with glimmers of optimism offset by its losses. Venues opened to great fanfare, but others closed for a variety of reasons.
