4 <h2>Features</h2> <h3>Hiromi</h3> What do Erroll Garner, Oscar Peterson, Ahmad Jamal, Chick Corea, Jeff Beck and King Crimson have in common? They’ve all deeply influenced Hiromi Uehara, the deliriously virtuosic Japanese keyboardist whose labyrinthine compositions and kinetic performances have earned her a sizable following and collaborations with Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke.

In this definitive profile, David R. Adler surveys the career of this relentlessly defiant artist. <h3>Thelonious Monk: The Man Behind the Music (Excerpt from new bio by Robin D.G. Kelley)</h3> Thelonious Monk, inarguably one of jazz's most important composers, might also be one of jazz history's most misunderstood figures. In his new Monk bio, University of Southern California professor Robin D.G. Kelley restores humanity to a jazz giant previously thought to be an unknowable eccentric, and <i>JazzTimes</i> has an exclusive excerpt. <h3>The Accompanists - Pianists Who Back Singers</h3> For pianists, there’s more to accompanying singers than wearing a smile and a tux. Accompaniment is an art full of empathy and understatement, and for this issue, Thomas Conrad interviewed some of the best singers and pianists in the business to find out what makes a great singer/pianist tandem. Hank Jones, Bill Charlap, Patricia Barber, Fred Hersch, Roberta Gambarini and more chime in. <h2>Opening Chorus Profiles</h2><br /> <strong>Myron Walden</strong> <strong>Allan Holdsworth</strong> <strong>Theo Bleckmann</strong> <h2>Columns</h2><br /> <strong>Before &amp; After with Monty Alexander</strong> <strong>Overdue Ovation for Ed Shaughnessy</strong> <strong>Also, new columns by Nate Chinen and Nat Hentoff, plus guest column by Vijay Iyer</strong> <strong>Audio/Video Files by Brent Butterworth: The Year's Best in Equipment</strong> Editorial content is subject to change. false 261 2009-04-28T10:11:26-04:00 false 24733 true 32 2009-04-28T10:11:26-04:00

4 The history of the magazine dates back to Radio Free Jazz, a publication founded in 1970 by Ira Sabin when he was operating a record store in Washington, DC. It was originally a newsletter designed to update shoppers on the latest jazz releases and provide jazz radio programmers with a means of communicating with the industry. However, Radio Free Jazz grew substantially over the next decade, attracting readers and writers from around the world. In 1980, the magazine's broader focus and appeal prompted a name change, so Radio Free became JazzTimes. In 1990, the magazine also underwent a change, receiving a bold new look that incorporated exclusive cover photography and state of the art graphic design. Since then JazzTimes has continued to evolve into what is widely regarded as the world's leading jazz publication. <h2>Here's what you'll find in the pages of JazzTimes today:</h2><br /> <strong>Extensive News Coverage</strong> Who's recording what and with whom? What are the latest releases and reissues? Who's booked to perform at your favorite jazz festival? What's the latest word in books, films, TV, cyberspace? You'll find the answers to these and many other questions in every issue of JazzTimes. <strong>Award Winning Jazz Journalism</strong> The list of contributors reads like a who's who of jazz journalism. Nat Hentoff, Gary Giddins, Nate Chinen, Ashley Kahn, Bill Milkowski, Josef Woodard, David Adler and other well known writers regularly appear in JazzTimes, providing readers with the kind of insightful reviews and coverage unavailable anywhere else. Not surprisingly, several JazzTimes contributors have received ASCAP/Deems Taylor awards for jazz journalism. <strong>Hundreds of CD, Book and Video Reviews</strong> How do you keep up with the hundreds of CDs released every month? It's not easy. Each month JazzTimes sifts through all the CD releases--plus book and video releases--in order to provide readers with informative, money saving reviews of what's worth purchasing--and what isn't. <strong>World Class Photography and Award-Winning Graphics</strong> The unrivaled roster of photographers who contribute to JazzTimes speaks for itself: Herman Leonard, Lee Tanner, John Abbott, Jimmy Katz and Nick Ruechel top the distinguished list. The combination of their images and award-winning graphic treatments has given JazzTimes a truly distinctive visual signature. In recognition of exceptional graphic design, the magazine has been honored with several prestigious Gold and Silver Ozzie Awards. <strong>Informative Features and Columns</strong> In each issue of JazzTimes you'll find a series of features and columns that shed light on a variety of artists and subjects. In Before and After, well-known jazz musicians get their ears tested to see if they can recognize the music of their peers and predecessors. In Audio/Video Files, noted audio expert Brent Butterworth gives readers the lowdown on audio and video components. The Currents columns reports monthly on contemporary jazz recordings. <strong>Special Theme Issues</strong> Throughout the year JazzTimes focuses on a specific instrument--saxophone or guitar, for example--and devotes extensive editorial coverage to the subject. <strong>Special Directories</strong> No other jazz publication offers readers as many directories as JazzTimes. Our comprehensive directories for jazz clubs, education programs, record labels and music festivals are used by readers as reference guides year-round. <strong>Readers Poll and Critics Picks</strong> Every year JazzTimes readers and JazzTimes critics cast their ballots in a pair of widely read and wildly entertaining jazz polls. <strong>Sound$weeps</strong> JazzTimes doesn't just report on jazz festivals around the world, we frequently send winners of our Sound$weeps giveaways to those same festivals. Past Sound$weeps prizes have included all-expense-paid vacations to everywhere from Monterey, California to Umbria, Italy. false 129 2008-01-25T21:23:41-05:00 false 17669 true 118 2008-01-25T21:23:41-05:00
