Spyro Gyra: “Relaxin’ At 30,000 Volts” — The high-energy sextet recognizes crossover as an economic fact, not an artistic definition, as they aim for the international market. Promoting themselves where the record companies leave off, the group works hard to get audiences to loosen up, while keeping the crowd riveted. Relaxation, fun, and energy are at the core of their music. Interview by Peter Rothbart.
-
19 Kool Jazz Festival: “Two Bites From The Apple” — With the Newport name shipped back to Rhode Island, the tradition continues under the Kool aegis in New York City. Highlighted by the re-emergence of Miles Davis, this year’s festival offered such quality (though uneven at times) and quantity that Down Beat was forced to double-team coverage with Lee Jeske and Art Lange.
-
24 Chet Baker — Hot on the heels of several critically acclaimed albums, the reticent trumpeter brings his quietly lyrical voicings back to delight audiences across the States.
