Louis Stewart & Martin Taylor: Acoustic Guitar Duets
by Ian Patterson
Jazz is littered with examples of starry duos aligning in one-off recording projects that do not quite match expectations. Often the lack of real spark comes down to too much deference being shown. When such duos do come off, however, say as with the collaborations between Bill Evans and Jim Hall, to cite one outstanding example, ...
Bill Evans: In Norway: The Kongsberg Concert
by Ian Patterson
The release of In Norway: The Konsberg Concert coincides with the sixtieth anniversary of the Konsberg Jazz Festival. Double cause for celebration.

Sue Rynhart: Say Pluto

B.B. King: In France: Live At The 1977 Nancy Jazz Pulsations Festival
by Ian Patterson
By the time B.B. King arrived in France in the autumn of 1977 he could already reflect upon a good year. After a string of misfiring crossover albums, the Indianola blues musician had returned to studio form with the mostly straight-ahead blues of King Size (ABC, 1977). An invitation to Yale saw King become only the ...

Orchestra Nazionale Della Luna: Selene's View
by Ian Patterson
In the interests of full disclosure let us dispense with the notion that Orchestra Nazionale Della Luna is an Italian band. Or an orchestra. ONDL was founded by Finnish pianist Kari Ikonen and Belgian saxophonist/flautist Manuel Hermia in 2015, with additional Belgians in the shape of double bassist Sébastien Boisseau and drummer Teun Verbruggen making the ...
Remembering Roy Haynes: Modern Jazz Giant
by Ian Patterson
When Roy Haynes sat down at the tiny kit on the stage of the Everyman Theatre, during the Guinness Cork Jazz Festival in 2005, he shook his head ruefully and said, “Man, I feel like a midget!" Rising above the audience laughter, somewhere in the depths of the theatre, a voice replied, “Roy, you're a giant!" ...
Miklós Lukács: Timeless
by Ian Patterson
Miklós Lukács is one of the world's premier players of the cimbalom, the modern extension of the hammered dulcimer. The progenitors of today's cimbalom, common to many folk traditions, date to Mesopotamia circa 670 BC, or so ancient stone carvings suggest.
