Why some artists achieve the recognition they deserve while other equally talented ones don't depends on many things. But one thing is clear, that obscurity does not always mean lack of talent.

Rachid Taha: Diwan 2

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
February 7, 2007

Bill Coleman: The Complete Philips Recordings

Read "The Complete Philips Recordings" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson
July 6, 2006

Trumpeter Bill Coleman (1904-81) played in a host of orchestras (led by Benny Carter, Teddy Wilson, Luis Russell and Don Redman) in the 1930s, with the same vibrato and finesse as his contemporary, Buck Clayton, but not quite the same bravura and vocabulary. To make an analogy using trumpeters from another jazz era, Coleman is to ...
