A Night at Nick's This Week on Riverwalk Jazz

We invited Riverwalk Jazz listeners to share their memories of Nick's in the Village, and the phones began to ring off the hook. We heard from one man who had gotten engaged at the bar, one who was an Olympic athlete, and several who were musicians who had played at Nick's. These listeners, and others, contribute ...

Papa Bue: 80 at 80

Read "80 at 80" reviewed by Chris Mosey


It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was an age of duffle coats, beards, sandals and sunglasses. It was the age of Trad. It was how European youth discovered jazz.

Josh Berman: Old Idea

Read "Old Idea" reviewed by Nic Jones


If it really is about old ideas, as the title of this album by cornetist Josh Berman states, then the ones expressed here are done so in collective tongues fresh enough to be transformative, from mouths breathing new life into them. Berman has been a stalwart of the Chicago improvised music community for awhile now, and ...

Garvin Bushell: One Steady Roll

Read "One Steady Roll" reviewed by Nic Jones


Garvin Bushell's autobiography, published in 1988, is called Jazz From The Beginning.

Wild Bill Davison: Wild Bill Davison: Pretty Wild & With Strings Attached

Read "Wild Bill Davison: Pretty Wild & With Strings Attached" reviewed by Mike Neely


Wild Bill Davison did not always front a go-for-broke Dixieland band playing his cornet above a high-octane rhythm section. Arbors Records has reissued two albums featuring Davison with strings. Pretty Wild and With Strings Attached, originally recorded in 1956 and 1957, reveal a lyrical, reflective Davison playing ballads and slow to medium tempo standards. This other ...
