Chamber 3: Grassroots
by Dan McClenaghan
Do different geographies create different sounds? New York-hard and brassy, in your face and boppish; the Nordic countries--cool and reflective, spacious and dreamy; the American Midwest, Chicago and Detroit--soulful and hip with a hard urban edge.

Jazz Meets Death
by Matt Lavelle
There once was a great music. It was born in America and branded with the name Jazz. The music was later re-named madam Zzaj, by one of her lovers, the Duke.

Colin Trusedell: Quartet of Jazz Death
by C. Michael Bailey
