The New York Sun on Jazz

[Dig'Em]

If you're like me, you don't often read the Sun. But they have a jazz writer who put out an occasional nice column. Some recent ones:

Freddie Redd/The Connection

Art Pepper, mainly later period

Billy Strayhorn

Charles Tolliver

Whitney Balliet

Heck, that's not even two weeks worth of his output.

Most of it isn't groundbreaking, but it does convey an appreciation, even love, for the music.

It's Will Friedwald, who's done quite a lot of writing on jazz vocals.. not sure when he started writing for the Sun. The odd thing about that Freddie Redd article is that he never seems to get around to mentioning the upcoming Monday night performance (which surely inspired the column in the first place). More on that here.

Thanks for the comment, Ghost of Miles. I failed to mention the author's name. Shame on me (a writer, myself).
