Theo Croker: It's Just Black Music
by Keith Henry Brown
In a field teeming with talented young lions, the bright sound of trumpeter Theo Croker still sticks out. Grandson of the legendary jazz trumpeter Doc Cheatham, the native Floridian graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and is part of a new movement of emerging jazz artists who expertly incorporate hip hop, electronic and R&B elements ...
Arturo Sandoval: Two Counties, Two Lives, One Trumpet de Oro
by Jim Worsley
Arturo Sandoval is widely considered the world's premier living trumpet player. You will get no argument from me. After a tumultuous life in Cuba, he and his family successfully sought political asylum in the United States. His story is well documented in For Love or Country (HBO, 2000). Andy Garcia portrays Sandoval in this movie that ...
Craig Fraedrich Tony Nalker: Alone Together
by Nicholas F. Mondello
An involved listening to this oxymoron-titled album could easily have one thinking that trumpeter Craig Fraedrich and pianist Tony Nalker probably could have been categorized by Audobon as “birds of a musical feather." That's not a surprise since both spent decades in the elite U.S. Army Blues Jazz Ensemble and they've worked together on Fraedrich's previous ...
Louis Hayes / Junior Cook Quintet: At Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall: Hamburg 1976
by Chris May
In 1976, when At Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall was recorded, hard bop was viewed as nostalgia-based heritage music by the young lions of American jazz. But for drummer Louis Hayes, tenor saxophonist Junior Cook, trumpeter Woody Shaw, pianist Ronnie Matthews, and bassist Stafford James--whose paths had crossed and recrossed in bands led by Horace Silver, Art ...
Eric Dolphy: Musical Prophet: The Expanded 1963 New York Sessions
by Mike Jurkovic
2018 was a spectacular year for archival jazz. Just a quick glance at last year's releases includes John Coltrane's Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album (Verve), Coltrane's further adventures on Miles Davis & John Coltrane The Final Tour: The Bootleg Series, Vol. 6 (Legacy), and Erroll Garner's revelatory Nightconcert (Mack Avenue Records) quickly taking its ...
Woody Shaw Quartet: Live in Bremen 1983
by Maurizio Zerbo
Nei suoi tre anni di attività, il secondo quintetto di Woody Shaw ha lasciato tracce significative nel jazz grazie ad importanti dischi come United, Lotus Flower, The Time Is Right. In questo concerto tedesco del 1983 il quintetto diventa quartetto per l'assenza del trombonista Steve Turre, che si rivela un involontario volano di creatività per il ...

As one of the most successful drummers of his generation, Jorge Rossy has lived in the States for many years, where he played before large audiences with the Brad Mehldau Trio and collaborated with jazz greats such as Paquito D'Rivera, Woody Shaw and Charlie Haden. In 2000 he moved back to his birthplace, Barcelona, ...
Eric Dolphy: Musical Prophet:The Expanded 1963 New York Sessions
by Karl Ackermann
Eric Dolphy's Musical Prophet: The Expanded 1963 New York Sessions was released as a limited-edition vinyl recording in November 2018 and a CD and digital collection two months afterward. Flautist James Newton, Jason Moran and Resonance Records aided in procuring and restoring the original tapes for this box set. The multi-instrumentalist Dolphy enjoyed only a brief ...
Eric Dolphy: Musical Prophet: The Expanded 1963 New York Sessions
by Troy Dostert
Although his iconic Out to Lunch! (Blue Note, 1964) is one of a handful of undisputed avant-garde jazz masterpieces, Eric Dolphy's stature has never quite risen fully to the level of the jazz titans. Some of this is probably due to his untimely death at age 36, just as he was reaching new creative peaks; and ...
Eric Dolphy: Musical Prophet:The Expanded 1963 New York Sessions
by Jerome Wilson
Eric Dolphy's lone Blue Note album, 1964's Out To Lunch! is rightly regarded as a classic but the two records he made for the short-lived Douglas label just before that, Conversations (1963) and Iron Man (1963), have been largely forgotten, due in part to being out-of-print for many years. Now the Resonance label has done something ...
