Welcome to my new blog. I am extremely technologically UN-savvy so this is semi-exciting for me. Basically I am going to talk about jazz albums (the sides in sides junkie refers to record sides, you dig?) that mean a lot to me. Mostly, I will look at things that don't lie squarely within the traditional canon of jazz. No disrespect to the masters, but I feel there is room for everyone. And there are a lot of great resources already available.
A little bit about my background, I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and spent the better part of a decade in New Orleans, LA. I have spent the last few years in Nashville, TN where I am completing my masters degree in jazz studies and saxophone. I am looking forward to returning to New Orleans in the coming months.
You can expect to see writings about cats like Warne Marsh, Hank Mobley, Joe Henderson, Joe Lovano, Stan Getz, Lennie Tristano, Lee Konitz, Al Cohn, Zoot Sims, Andrew Hill, Ben Allison, Frank Kimbrough, Michael Blake, John Ellis, Mark Turner, etc, etc. . Like I said, I am a saxophonist. You can also look for New Orleans music, up and coming musicians, avant garde, etc, you get the picture. In addition to discussing recordings, I will also address different books, articles, and various writings on jazz.
Enjoy,
The Sides Junkie
