Swing the changes: A new generation of musicians will be turning the joint upside down at this month's London Jazz Festival

What's been happening to jazz? There's hardly a sharp-suited bopper to be seen in the line-up for the 17th London Jazz Festival, which begins on Friday. The great tradition is there if you want to look for it, with appearances by the veteran saxophonist Sonny Rollins and his contemporary equivalent, Branford Marsalis. But this year, such performers are in a conspicuous minority on an outrageously...

TENOR MADNESS (Hanna, Phil, and Tom)

If you saw the title and assumed that this was a Sonny Rollins tribute band, get that thought right out of your head. As much as I admire Rollins, the tenor saxophone is sufficiently well-established in jazz so that it doesn’t need the extra publicity. No, TENOR MADNESS looks like this: I’m only sorry that the picture [...]

INTERVIEW/PROFILE: Listen to the Bass Player: Part 1, Percy Heath

In the days when I was learning to truly listen, Red Kelly gave me a piece of valuable advice. He told me to close my eyes and in my mind isolate and concentrate on the bass player. He said that when I felt and understood what the bassist was doing, the rest of the music would begin to fall into place. It was a coincidence, of course, that Red was a bass player...

London Jazz Festival Previews (6) Patrick Hadfield

I asked blogger and avid gig-goer Patrick Hadfield what he had down as unmissable in the LJF. Here's his answer. Thank you, Patrick! LJF gathers together a variety of gigs, with a high concentration of international stars. These are "must see" gigs, I think, if only because I feel the need to see these stars play. But, in fact, it is only with hindsight that one finds out which gigs really...

The State of Jazz Reissues 2009: Miles Davis and Art Pepper

Jazz is a Romance language. It relies as much, if not more, on music already played and pondered over than that being performed right now, much less germinating in a musician's mind for the future. How does a classic become a classic if not through the passage of time and repeated listenings? The beauty of recorded music is that it exists to be repackaged, reconsidered and re-appreciated. Trumpeter...
