Guelph Jazz Festival & Colloquium 2009
by Kurt Gottschalk
Guelph Jazz Festival & ColloquiumGuelph, OntarioSeptember 9-13, 2009The Guelph Jazz Festival and Colloquium devoted itself this year to trying to unpack an idea so common that it is at once crucial and cliché: whether the practice of music-making might have world-changing implications. Through presentations on (for example) gang intervention in South Africa through ...
Roger Rosenberg: Baritonality
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Even in the day when the sound of baritone voices like Ernie Cacares, Harry Carney, Charlie Fowlkes and Joe Temperley streaked across the sonic stratosphere, solos were graceful, granular and short.

Deborah Brown: Jazz Diva Extraordinaire
by Victor L. Schermer
Deborah Brown is one of the finest jazz vocalists in the business, a “singer's singer" with a magnificent voice and mind-boggling technique. Vocalist J.D.

Frank Macchia: Saxolollapalooza
by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

World Saxophone Quartet: Political Blues
by AAJ Italy Staff
Con una forza dirompente arriva un nuovo capitolo della saga del World Saxophone Quartet, un album di denuncia, molto politicizzato e che attacca, senza tanti giri di parole, l’attuale situazione americana. Il longevo gruppo (che festeggerà l’anno prossimo il trentennale), con alla testa i tre superstiti David Murray, Oliver Lake e Bluiett dà una decisa scossa ...
World Saxophone Quartet: Political Blues
by Karl A.D. Evangelista
Political conscience occupies a special place in the quintessence of modern jazz, fueling, in its most heated moments, the stuff of blunt insurrection. It remains to be seen whether Political Blues, the most recent offering by the World Saxophone Quartet, occupies the same territory as those few moments of musical activism that have not only informed ...
