Sample Features From This Month's Issue ----------------------------------------- 
Jack DeJohnette - Rhythm Symbol Master drummer Jack DeJohnette is part
of a continuum in jazz that stretches back to the 1960s when the
Chicagoan was a member of Charles Lloyd’s seminal quartet and when he
made his debut as a leader. The line continued the next decade via
Miles Davis and the groundbreaking album Bitches Brew, and then into
the 80s and on with his own influential group Special Edition. With the
foundation of the Keith Jarrett Standards Trio, which recently
celebrated its 25th anniversary, a new chapter in both DeJohnette and
Jarrett’s career began, the birth of a group that would revitalise the
trio format and then influence a myriad of jazz trios keen to break the
mould just as DeJohnette and Jarrett had done themselves. Read more...
Christine Tobin and Phil Robson - Coming of Age Daring to be different,
singer Christine Tobin is set to delve still deeper into the
consciousness of her fans and newcomers alike if the arrival of her
brand new album Secret Life of a Girl is anything to go by. An
emotional and personal stirring, one step beyond her previous album,
the dark Romance and Revolution, Tobin on Secret Life inhabits the
world of the young characters in the songs. The album is released at a
time when her partner and regular musical colleague, guitarist Phil
Robson, releases Six Strings and The Beat, a Bartók-infused strings
album flavoured by post-modern jazz and African music alike. Stuart
Nicholson talks to the pair about the story behind their albums. Read

  Jason Moran - Sphere of Influence Misunderstood in his own lifetime, but in time elevated to the pantheon of composers that make him as relevant today as he was in the heyday of bebop, the totemic presence and music of Thelonious Monk forms the bedrock of a new monumental work by Jason Moran. The pianist, who tours the UK this month, with an Anglo-US band, has taken Monk’s At Town Hall and reimagined it for the jazz of today. Kevin Le Gendre talks to Moran about how he got inside the mind of the one and only Monk.
