Joshua Redman: Walking Shadows
by Nenad Georgievski
Saxophonist Joshua Redman combines some really attractive virtues: deep jazz knowledge and formidable technique on his instrument.

But that wouldn't be telling the whole story of the Philadelphia native who, in his prime years, has become one of the world's finest trumpet players, and a musician ...
John O'Gallagher: The Anton Webern Project
by C. Michael Bailey
Here's to avant-garde jazz. Unruly and ill-behaved, the seeds planted by saxophonists Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane, and carried forward by reed multi-instrumentalist Anthony Braxton and melded with trumpeter Miles Davis's Post-bop, gave rise to a brand of jazz that, while not the complete chaos of free jazz, nevertheless possessed such an inventive spirit that begged ...
