Anger can be a great musical catalyst. The story is told about Miles Davis's historic 1964 concert at Lincoln Center, that the band was angry that Miles had preemptively waived their fees for charity. The performance, duly celebrated in two albums, My Funny Valentine and Four and more , can be said to have that urgent yet sinuous edge that make it one of the essential live musical performances. The...

Like any credible person, I dig Miles Davis. But I particularly dig his quintet with saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams. “All-stars” is not nearly the word — these guys turned out to be a Mt. Rushmore of modern jazz. So it was really exciting to hear about Live in Europe ‘67, the DVD that’s included in the soon-to-be-released...

A few weeks ago I received a text message from my wife. As she was nearing Barnes and Noble on Broadway on New York's Upper West Side, she heard the sound of a jazz flute. Wriggling through the small crowd gathered around the musician, my wife was surprised to see a young girl swinging away. My wife's text message was simple: "Get out and see this kid before she heads home. Ron Carter and his...
