Filed under: All About Jazz It's that time of year again where I take a moment to look back and try and piece it all together with a succinct list of the year's 10 best jazz albums. This is an annual rite for jazz scribes and just about anyone else out there that covers a beat for a publication.

The profiles of guitarist {{Bobby Rose = 3918}} and keyboardist {{Ron Thomas = 14059}}, subject to the laws of gravity, have not achieved the heights commensurate with their talent--an old jazz story. But both are immensely creative artists. The duo has recorded, separately, albums with...

I had an opportunity to interview Paul backstage at the Iridium, and also to play phone tag with an old guitar hero of mine, Journey's Neal Schon (we never did hook up).
