Jazz Music Is Ecstatic Language
by David Arivett
Leonardo DaVinci once said, “Do you know that our souls are composed of music?" Music and religion are intimately linked, and music is one of the most powerful tools to convey religious meaning. As human beings, we have been given the gift of musical language which can help transform us from our humdrum, everyday existence, into ...
Warren Haynes and the Ashes and Dust Band at the Ogden Theater
by Geoff Anderson
Warren Haynes and the Ashes and Dust Band Ogden Theater Denver, CO April 1, 2016 Warren Haynes' musical journey continues. Is he on a quest? Certainly he's not looking for a specific “musical identity." The whole point of the journey seems to be covering as much musical territory as possible in ...
Bruno Raberg: For The Unknown
by Dan McClenaghan
Bassist Bruno Raberg's artistry sounds as if it would be a good fit for ECM Records. His music has a drifting elasticity; space is an important component; and his muse has introduced him to electronic sound design--an approach that the Swedish-born, and now Boston-based, performer has embraced. Raberg's sound is unique. Over the course ...
Ergo: As subtle as tomorrow
by Glenn Astarita

Myra Melford, Ben Goldberg: Dialogue
by Stefano Merighi
Quando il duo Goldberg-Melford fu ascoltato dal vivo in Italia, giusto tre anni fa, apparve, al di là delle straordinarie doti strumentali dei due, ancora in fase di preparazione. Una titubanza latente affiorava in quel camerismo elegante, spesso sussurrato, quasi mai sprigionante le ben note potenzialità di tali esecutori. Il presente Dialogue, al contrario, ...
How Teachers can Swing in the Classroom
by Douglas Groothuis
I am a jazz aficionado as well as a philosophy professor. Being in front of a classroom teaching is my favorite place on earth, second to a good jazz club with hip friends. In the midst of a philosophy class, I may wax enthusiastic about the transcendent qualities of a John Coltrane saxophone solo or the ...
