Matt White: Matt White's Dolly
by Katchie Cartwright
A miniature doll-like effigy of the great country music singer-songwriter Dolly Parton adorns the cover of trumpeter-composer Matt White's Dolly. How did the Queen of Country become the subject of this fascinating (if awkwardly-branded) mainstream jazz album? Happenstance. White was researching Gullah songs for his 2023 album, Lowcountry (Ropeadope), when YouTube “Pandorized" him into ...

by Katchie Cartwright
What does it take to turn a romantic Cole Porter song into a powerful nine-minute protest piece?

Javon Jackson: Jackson Plays Dylan
by Katchie Cartwright

More than that, ...

Like many mid-20th-century jazz albums, Saudade do Paulo was recorded live in the studio (Biscoito Fino studios in Rio de Janeiro), without the sort of overdubs and retakes more typical of 21st-century projects. The release is digital-only, but what it lacks in physicality it makes up for in substantial liner notes and a sound that is ...

Our theme is topical, and the ...
