    Jazz Fusion: A Primer

    Thursday, January 22nd, 2009
    My current music obsession is jazz fusion. This genre got its start in the late 1960's; many cite Miles Davis' "In a Silent Way" as the first "fusion" album. So, what is it?

    Relaxin’ at Camarillo: A Look At Charlie Parker

    Friday, November 7th, 2008
    Being interested in jazz music, I was knowledgeable of Charlie Parker's existence. However, also being a newbie to jazz, I never really got around to exploring his music until very recently. It went like this: I was reading Miles Davis's autobiography, and as many of you jazz afficionados already know, Miles got his start playing [...]

    Let My Children Hear Music: The Genius of Charles Mingus

    Tuesday, November 4th, 2008
    Charles Mingus is often seen as simply a jazz bass player. While it's true that the bass was his instrument of choice, referring to him as just a bass player is not enough. You see, Charles Mingus (Or, as afficionados often refer to him, Mingus) was an innovative composer and bandleader, and played the piano, [...]
