Joe Lovano

The Next Chapter

DownBeat catches up with Lovano to discuss his studio collaboration with ECM founder Manfred Eicher, his plans for the future and his development as a young performer in Cleveland.

Features
  • Allison Miller

    Inclusive Leader

    Much of drummer Allison Miller’s life is about juxtapositions. She’s the creative force behind two related but very different bands. She manages an active music career while co-parenting her two preschoolers. And she gives voice to her activism through her art.

  • Carlos Henriquez

    Extending the Legacy

    The tumbao, that basic building block of Afro-Cuban music, is deeply imbedded in bassist Carlos Henriquez’s DNA. Like the New Orleans second-line beat, the swing beat in jazz or duende in flamenco music, it’s something felt, rather than easily explained.

  • Aaron Goldberg

    Between Two Worlds

    Aaron Goldberg’s academic work might have influenced his music in more ways than he’s aware of, at least in a conceptual sense.
