George Wein: Back to Doing His Thing
by R.J. DeLuke
Not many people stand in shoes similar to the ones in which jazz impresario George Wein now finds himself.

Miroslav Vitous Group /w Michel Portal: Remembering Weather Report
by John Kelman
On the surface, Remembering Weather Report possesses little in common with the fusion supergroup that Czech bassist Miroslav Vitous co-founded in the early '70s with keyboardist Joe Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, before being summarily removed on the cusp of greater commercial success.
