  1. When you say jazz, Nicholas Payton hears BAM

    In a cramped UCLA classroom, trumpeter Nicholas Payton is leading a young septet of college students through his piece "The Backwards Step." He's here as part of a weeklong teaching residency, and the song he plays to the group at the Thelonious Monk Institute is led by his gliding trumpet. Framed by keyboard and vibraphone, it sounds like a simmering post-bop standard. But to Payton, this isn't just jazz — it's the sound of Black American Music.

  2. Symphony Center jazz season: Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis and Mavis Staples

    In 1994, Orchestra Hall — home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra — took a gamble. The grand old institution for the first time launched a jazz subscription series, betting that Chicagoans would commit to a season of such events, albeit a short one (four concerts).

  4. Branford Marsalis: Q&A with a jazz sax master

    Branford Marsalis, a Grammy-award winning saxophonist, doesn't like to be fenced in. He's played with jazzy rock bands, the New York Philharmonic and his own experimental funk ensemble, Buckshot LeFonque. Although he's not a staunch traditionalist like his trumpet-playing brother Wynton, he's recently been embracing straight-ahead, acoustic jazz. His recent CD &quot;Four MFs Playin' Tunes" is exactly what the title suggests.

  12. Gathering of the Vibes 2012: A Recap

    For Gathering of the Vibes 2012, I chose to decline all the media hook-ups and luxuries. No laptop. No power outlets. No VIP tent with couches. No pass for entry into the photo pit in front of the stage. No isolated, backstage, extra-clean Port-O-Pottys. I was fully embedded, camping in mud along with every other non-media-affiliated camper. It&rsquo;s only fair.
