If one wanted to capture a 'who's who' snapshot of the jazz icons of the mid-'70s, into the '80s and beyond, one of the best ways to start was to see if they had added their name to the list of artists who recorded and/or released a 'Live at Sweet Basil' collection. The New York City club debuted as a restaurant in 1974 and, within a few years, artists including Art Blakey, Gil Evans, Cecil Taylor, McCoy Tyner, Mal Waldron and others began performing at the compact venue, and had recorded sessions there. One of the first to hit the 'record' button was bassist Ron Carter. Carter recorded this session in 1990 along with three other jazz giants: Art Farmer on both trumpet and flugelhorn, Cedar Walton on piano and Billy Higgins on drums. Carter, Walton and Higgins even returned for yet another recorded session in 1991 (without Farmer that time around.)

Here are five notable vocal jazz releases that have come out in the first half of 2024. Jacqui Naylor is a veteran singer with a distinctive husky voice. Her 12th album is a warm combination of original songs and familiar pop covers done in an eclectic mix of styles. Her treatments of familiar tunes like Bill Withers' "Lovely Day" and Cindi Lauper's "True Colors" are soulful and mature. Among the songs Naylor wrote with her husband, pianist Art Khu , "Happy Adventure" is breezy and romantic, "Picture Book of You" has a sprightly Caribbean playfulness, and "Love's Around" is deep percussive funk. All are put over well by the sense of experience and confidence in Naylor's singing.

“This is the best smelling gig we’ve ever had,” said Oliver Wood, the effortlessly charismatic lead singer and guitarist of The Wood Brothers, to a crowd of grateful and adoring fans in Accord, New York.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.
