Lambeth launched LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) history month at the beginning of February with an event at Brixton Library. The keynote speaker was author and theatre director Stella Duffy. Stella has written seven literary novels – the latest 'The Room of Lost Things' set in a dry cleaner's on Coldharbour Lane – five crime novels, 35 short stories and eight plays. Mayor...
I saw the John Turville Trio at play to a small audience at The Brunswick in Hove a couple of weeks ago. It was a great gig from of trio of young and very talented musicians, part of a tour to promote a new recording - Midas . Unusually, the gig consisted almost entirely of original compositions (pianist John Taylor's Ambleside being the exception) so I thought I would check out Midas to get to know...
Live At Saint Stephens with baritone saxophonist Charles Evans and pianist Neil Shah -- together with the Dan Tepfer / Lee Konitz Duos With Lee (Sunnyside Records, 2009)--is certainly one of the most wildly adventurous records in recent memory. It is not quite entirely spontaneous or improvisational as some of Keith Jarrett 's records are. But playing under a magisterial dome of sound--both deep and...

Over at The Root today, Henry Louis Gates Jr. surveys the U.S.'s long, manipulative history with Haiti , from Thomas Jefferson to Pat Robertson: By 1804, Jefferson told John Quincy Adams that he was determined to end trade with Haiti. Having helped the Haitians gain their freedom, he then sought to strangle the new-born nation. He sought to quarantine the island and opposed official trade because...
If the carefully composed, monochrome cover art of the John Turville Trio's debut album suggests the ECM label's house style, the coincidence is appropriate. Midas is high-end piano trio jazz, beautifully recorded (in Italy). It consists in the main of tunes written by pianist Turville, is shot through with muscular lyricism, and resonates with the work of Keith Jarrett and John Taylor . In its occasional,...
There are certain received opinions about the album Forest Flower : Charles Lloyd At Monterey. Of course, it committed the cardinal sin for many hard core jazz afficianados of being popular and selling well. The view has also come down that Charles Lloyd was a bit of a lightweight and that any interest the quartet had revolved around the soon to be stellar sidemen Keith Jarrett and Jack DeJohnette...
When keyboardist Erik Deutsch released Hush Money last fall, it was a breath of fresh air for jazz enthusiasts. Long known for helping soulful guitarist Charlie Hunter to get his groove on, Deutsch crafted a down-and-dirty organic sound on Hush Money that also managed to be synthetic, airy, and elegant. On his album, the composer-keyboardist [...]
The last thing England want to see when Wales arrive at Twickenham for the opening match of the Six Nations campaign is a 21st century version of Keith Jarrett, who, as an 18-year-old, famously beat them all on his own on his international debut in 1967. Unnervingly for Martin Johnson and his colleagues, the ghost of humiliation past suddenly materialised yesterday when the Red Dragon coaching team...
