I have not forgotten my commitment to delivering some Jazz info every few days, it's just been a hectic couple of weeks. I am consumed with my upcoming move ( yes, the saga of me and my horrible roommates ends Friday!) and, as you can tell, the passing of the King of Pop.

In that legendary...

Steve Kuhn Trio w/ Joe Lovano Mostly Coltrane ECM Records 2009 Although he's spent most of his career focusing on interpreting the music of others, pianist Steve Kuhn's albums for the ECM label have largely been about his small but significant repertoire of original music. Which makes Mostly Coltrane a real anomaly by comparison to earlier works like those reissued in the three-CD box set Life's Backward...
