Race and Jazz Criticism
by Greg Thomas
When I began this Race and Jazz series several months ago, I knew the topics I wanted to touch upon, and the general culture vs. race point-of-view I intended to pursue.

by Bruce Lindsay
British jazz has produced many great players whose fame never came close to matching their talent. One such was the mercurial drummer Phil Seamen.

Donald Harrison: This Is Jazz
by Greg Simmons
Saxophonist Donald Harrison's name is writ large on the cover of This Is Jazz, but the album is a collaborative trio in every sense.

Ken Fowser & Behn Gillece: Little Echo
by Raul d'Gama Rose
If Marc Free, Nick O'Toole and the team at Posi-Tone Records continue producing albums in the same manner as they have been since the inception of the label in 1994, they will surely be further along the path to emulating the legacy of the Blue Note label, which has produced some of the finest music of ...
