What if a tree fell in the woods, and no-one heard? More to the point, what if, for one weekend, four Guys With Ties wrote the book about how play jazz that balances drive with subtlety, improvisational joy with compositional intelligence, self-awareness with musical wit—and what if the record was released on the You'll Never Hear About It label? Well, that happened this time. For better and for worse, decades later this disc still is news.

On her first two albums, vibraphonist Patricia Brennan worked with a quartet comprised of three percussion instruments, herself on vibes and marimba, joined by percussionist Mauricio Herrera and drummer Marcus Gilmore, with a bassist Kim Cass. Momentum in large part, is the name of the game. For Breaking Stretch she expands her musical universe, adding trumpeter Adam O'Farrill and saxophonists Mark Shim and Jon Irabagon. This proved a good move; her musical universe in this septet setting has an energy similar to the universe, a billion or so years after the Big Bang.

This article was transcribed from a March 21, 2021 interview on the Mister Radio show. Marshall Katzman: You're listening to Mister Radio, and I'm your host, Marshall. Today's guest has won six Grammy Awards and eight Grammy nominations, including an award for Best Album Notes for Bird, the complete Charlie Parker on Verve. Frank Foster has called him a walking jazz history book. Early in his career, he managed the Basie alumni band, The Countsmen, and for 17 years, ran the jazz at the West End Jazz Room on Broadway and 114th Street in New York City. He attended Columbia University, and during his freshman year began broadcasting jazz on the Columbia University radio station, WKCR-FM, and has been a radio broadcaster ever since. The jazz critic Stanley Crouch once wrote that, quote, there is no person in America more dedicated to any art form than today's guest is to jazz. He is the Mr. Memory of jazz, and as with the Mr. Memory character in The Thirty-Nine Steps, the Hitchcock movie, there are those who think he ought to be shot. He can get on your nerves, but then you can get on his. It is my honor to introduce today's guest, Phil Schaap.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

It's been eight years since beloved former child star and Oscar-winning actress Patty Duke died from sepsis (a ruptured intestine) at only 69 in 2016. She was also the recipient of two Golden Globes, three Emmys, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In the 1960s, she was the star of her own TV sitcom. In the mid-1980s, she served as President of the Screen Actors Guild. Through it all, she was married four times (including once to actor John Austin), had three sons, and never stopped acting. This is her tragic yet triumphant story.

I can still remember the impression that Ralph Bowen made on a young jazz enthusiast trying to break into radio and be part of the hip jazz crowd. I had decided to get involved with the programming end of a local non-profit arts support organization and on a letter perfect July evening our committee had lined up a double bill that included Kevin Eubanks and the mid '80s collective Out Of The Blue. An hour or so before OTB was set to open the evening's festivities I was helping out backstage when the guys from the band began to gather. Bowen had found a private little spot in some corner and was blowing some of the gutsiest tenor saxophone that I can recall hearing up to that point. It struck a chord and in addition to eventually picking up all of the OTB albums that Blue Note released, I made a point of keeping and eye and ear open for anything else that Bowen might be involved in.

All About Jazz has been a pioneer in the jazz world since MCMXCV. We love being the first to try new things and we're long known for adopting emerging technologies. From being the first and only jazz website with a theme song to now, being the first jazz website to use AI. Thanks to AAJ's Scott Lichtman, we've found the perfect application for our AI buddy, DIG 9000. This clever chatbot, powered by Chetty (see below) will answer questions, suggest links, and be my tech and customer support sidekick. I'm excited about it as it means I can focus more on the "chief" and "cook" responsibilities and leave the "bottlewasher" duties to DIG.

When I studied Anthropology in college, I learned that teeth have been indicators of economic status just about forever. Archaeologists look at the teeth in ancient skeletons and know who the rich were based on their tooth decay. During the Renaissance period, it became fashionable for women to blacken their teeth to look like they were better off than they were, because the royals and aristocrats, who could afford sugar and sweets, had more rotten and missing teeth than the poor.

"Longing" is the second single from the upcoming album of Hyeonseon Baek. It sings hope with Baek's Mellow vocal, floating with the pianist Kevin Hays's piano, and Bassist Linda May Han Oh and Drummer Jochen Rueckert put their gentle, rhythmic charms on it. In the later part of the song, Baek does the expressive scat over the closing vamp.
