GHS: The Best of GHS
All About Jazz (Free subscription) | 11/10/2009
GHS is almost like listening to The Police without a human voice. The letters are the initials guitarist {{Frank Gambale = 6931}}, bassist {{Stu Hamm = 7367}}, and drummer {{Steve Smith = 4453}}. GHS is the anti-smooth ensemble from Tone Center Records. Their intent was to represent music fans who wanted more improvisation and more interaction among the players. Gambale spent several years with the...

London Jazz Festival Previews (7) Stefano Bollani by Art Kavanagh Art Kavanagh lives in Toulouse. But he'll be over in London during the London Jazz Festival, because he doesn't want to miss Stefano Bollani at Kings Place. Here's why. Italian pianists. They don't resemble a school. They don't sound like each other. It's hard to put your finger on what is peculiarly Italian about them (apart, some of...

Swing the changes: A new generation of musicians will be turning the joint upside down at this month's London Jazz Festival
The Independent (Free subscription) | 11/08/2009
What's been happening to jazz? There's hardly a sharp-suited bopper to be seen in the line-up for the 17th London Jazz Festival, which begins on Friday. The great tradition is there if you want to look for it, with appearances by the veteran saxophonist Sonny Rollins and his contemporary equivalent, Branford Marsalis. But this year, such performers are in a conspicuous minority on an outrageously...

Shifts in attitude
Musical Perceptions (Free subscription) | 11/05/2009
When I was in college, from 1988-1993, jazz ensembles had become accepted on college campuses. My jazz director told about trying to get a university jazz ensemble started in the early '70s while he was a student, and the resistance that was put up by the faculty and administration. In my time there was still resistance, but it was of the idea that jazz could engender the same levels of scholarship...

Chick Corea at the Scientology Charity Concert in East Grinstead
Celebrity Scientologists (Free subscription) | 10/24/2009
I can only dream what this concert was like. It was part of the annual benefit concert following (a day or so after) the Anniversary of the International Association of Scientologists . Can you imagine? Chick is a musical giant and that's Mark Isham on the horn--another real great. I saw both of them, jamming together in Hollywood a few months ago at the Celebrity Center Gala. Wish I could have been...
