Danny Lerman

The cover photo on the album Meow Baby displays a very good-looking, almost impish, young man. That photo comes to life when a rich, deep, mellow and very manly voice comes across the phone line for this interview.

With Danny Lerman on an extensive tour for his new album, it is almost natural to begin the interview with: “Good...

Artist Interview by Nina Goodrich
Lori Andrews

When most people think about a harp, they think of music that's heavenly and classical. Lori Andrews has shattered that notion as she has become one of the best jazz harpists around. She says, there's not that many jazz harpists around. Deborah Hensen Conant, who is just extraordinary. There's actually two in Los Angeles, Carol Robbins and Corky Hale,...
Artist Interview by Norm Breest
Yoko Miwa

Listening to Yoko Miwa play the piano is like listening to the stars that shine at night twinkle at various decibels as they frame the celestial bodies in the evening sky with sound waves of elation and startling beauty.  Yoko’s latest album Canopy of Stars, released from Polystar Jazz Library Recordings, is a kaleidoscope of gently twirling notes created...

Artist Interview by Susan Frances
Diane Schuur

Jazz vocalist and pianist Diane Schuur delivers one of her most personal albums to date with the release of Some Other Time.

The CD is a loving tribute to the music that filled her home when she was a young girl. Made to coincide with the 40th anniversary of her mother’s death, the album is a strong return to...

Artist Interview by Donna Kimura
Frank Macchia

Like the way a photographer immortalizes new discoveries and awe-inspiring images with a camera, composer/saxophonist Frank Macchia does so with his music.  His repertoire is a collection of culinary delights.  He designed horror story images in a theater radio format for his demo series Little Evil Things.  He re-created the sounds of the Galapagos Islands on his disc The...

Artist Interview by Susan Frances
Carolyn Leonhart

Jazz vocalist and composer Carolyn Leonhart has always been surrounded by gifted artists. Her father Jay Leonhart is a highly respected acoustic double bass player, her mother was a talented singer, who left a promising professional career to focus on raising her family, and her husband Wayne Escoffery, besides being a very talented tenor saxophonist, is considered to be...

Artist Interview by Joe Montague
Libby York

Libby York was recently told that her voice is like a warm bath. That description suits her just fine.

“I love it when people tell me my music is relaxing,” she said.

York offers a respite from a hectic world. Her latest CD, Here With You, is the vocalist’s third album and a heartfelt offering of 11 standards. Rather...

Artist Interview by Donna Kimura
Marcomé

In the depths of the creative atmosphere that comforts us musically, a fresh resonance with a spirit so animated and enchanting (that cataloging is an exercise in futility) has emerged. The sound is that of Canadian, Marcome’, (Mar-ko-may), a multi-artistic phenomenon that will, I assure, change the way you perceive composition and performance along your journey through musical exploration.

Marcomé...

Artist Interview by Karl Stober
Cynthia Layne

Maybe something that you have often asked yourself is “What is neo-soul and nu-jazz,” buzz words that seem to come up often now-a-days? These are terms that music writers like myself use to describe a new generation of soul and jazz artists, similarly to the way writers back in the mid-’80s called Bobby Brown the voice of new-jack FM radio. Singer/songwriter...

Artist Interview by Susan Frances
Chris Geith

Chris Geith (pronounced “guy-t”) is one of the lucky few who actually knew what he wanted to do with the rest of his life from the moment he was able to climb up on a piano stool and sit beside his father. He would watch his father move his nimble fingers across the black and white keys of the...

Artist Interview by Susan Frances
Andre Ward

Saxophonist Andre Ward is an artist who has gone through a lot of hoops to get to where he is today. Going through the school system in Chicago, he got an interest in music, which followed to Boston, where he learned his trade through the education process. However, he learned very quickly that in order to get youself noticed,...
Artist Interview by Norm Breest
Sophie Milman

“I am interested in singing songs that move me, in a way that moves people,” says Sophie Milman, a twenty-four year old jazz singer from Toronto, Canada, whose current CD Make Someone Happy, soared to the  # 4 spot on Billboard’s jazz charts.

With emotionally deep, evocative vocals, combined with poise and confidence that suggests a much more seasoned...

Artist Interview by Joe Montague
James Spaulding

James Spaulding's pedigree is an impressive one. He has been called upon to add

his touch on both alto saxophone and flute for countless classic 60's Blue Note albums.

Now, as a leader and owner of Speetones label, he continues to add to his rich legacy.

The Early Years

Jazz Review: Your father was a professional touring musician. Did he encourage you to...

To Dream – Carnegie Hall 1938

Coronation of a king, a tribute to Benny Goodman, starring Bob DeAngelis, John MacLeod, and the Champagne Symphony Orchestra featuring some of Canada’s top musicians. “I think the band I had at Carnegie Hall . . . was the best . . . I ever had.” A Benny Goodman statement, that he made...

Artist Interview by Paul J. Youngman
Bobby McFerrin

Bobby McFerrin, master of all music, a man whose career embraces, jazz, pop and classical, has one busy schedule coming up in 2008. This world famous vocal innovator and improviser, who added classical to his repertoire in the nineties, begins the year in Southern California with a concert at the Orange County Performing Arts Center, Jan 10-12, with the...
Artist Interview by Larry Taylor
Tierney Sutton

Telarc Jazz recording artist, Tierney Sutton, is a jazz vocalist quite unlike any performing today; she has a genuine and unique approach to jazz resulting in a sound that is hers and hers alone. Tierney would say that the sound is not hers alone, she is a member of the band, and the sound is theirs alone. I believe...
Artist Interview by Gerard W. O'Brien
Melani Skybell

Jazz, in all its forms, is an art divinely created by a free spirit! An artist who" feels" from all directions, not just a specific occurrence, thereby evolving that process into an expressive sculpture mounted on sound. Along the way breaking down barriers and rules of which need not apply, for that spirit thrives and creates from within by...

Artist Interview by Karl Stober
Peter White

Guitarist Peter White knows how special the Christmas season is. He says, my earliest memories of Christmas were probably not much different from many other people, snowflakes, tinsel, Santa Claus and reindeer. As a child, Christmas presents were always special. It doesn't mean that much to me today, in fact it means very little to me today. I don't...
Artist Interview by Norm Breest
Omar Akram

Some write and compose with the perception of global conquests. Others visualize the shores of exotic islands as they create them with passionate melodies. This is the way we dream. However, for Omar Akram it’s a reality engraved into his memories, which has molded and developed his character, craft and style.

As a son of a United Nations diplomat, he grew...

Artist Interview by Karl Stober
Lauren White

Lauren White is a name that you should probably commit to memory, because the twenty-one year old jazz singer from Dallas, Texas, possesses an abundance of talent, a great attitude, and is one of the most polite people you will ever talk to, qualities which will serve her well in the music industry.  Earlier this year White released her...

Artist Interview by Joe Montague
Jacqui Naylor

Singer, songwriter and arranger Jacqui Naylor has accomplished what few artists are able to do successfully, she has been critically acclaimed, as a vocalist who can comfortably perform jazz standards such as “Blue Moon,” can sassily sing Rod Stewart’s “Hot Legs,” albeit with a twist, and creates quality original compositions such as the beautiful, “Easy Ride From Here.” The...

Artist Interview by Joe Montague
Tierney Sutton

Working with the same band for an extended period of time has some obvious advantages. Getting to know someone well means coming to know how they think musically, being able to predict what they are going to play under certain circumstances, how they are going to respond to certain musical cues.

“We’re so attuned to each other and listen...

Artist Interview by Richard C. Anderson
Charmaine Clamor

Filipino native Charmaine Clamor is making an impact wherever she performs, quickly finding her name on numerous marquees across the globe.  Wherever this young and sultry jazz siren blankets her voice, heads turn to embrace her signature elegance. Ms Clamor not only vocalizes emotions, she sculpts memories with her hypnotic presence in sync with her sensual injection of jazz melodies.

Artist Interview by Karl Stober
Alex Clements

More than any instrument, the piano is the constant conductor of musical memoirs. The emotion of any one keystroke ignites the mood by maintaining equilibrium with its ivory expressions. Pianists are plentiful, however, few have the charismatic flair and compositional manifestation as does Alex Clements, to attain such a task. From studio performances to the silver screen, Alex demonstrates the...

Artist Interview by Karl Stober
Alvin Queen

There are two types of great drummers in jazz, the impeccable time keepers and the ones who bring something more to both the instrument and the pieces/group in which they appear. Alvin Queen is of the latter group, possessing a casual grace and instantly recognizable sound. He is in a direct line of artistic descendents from such other great...
