  7. Ravi Coltrane leaves his band in the dust at Jazz Showcase

    Saxophonist Ravi Coltrane has developed into such a distinctive voice that expectations ran high for his return to the Jazz Showcase.

  11. Jason Moran takes on the myths of Fats Waller

    If Fats Waller is remembered at all by the public at large these days, it's as a caricature, with bug-eyes wide open, cigarette dangling from lip and eyebrows perpetually bobbing underneath a derby hat as he hams it up at the keys.
