from The Telegraph:
Starting in the late 1940s, he chronicled a musical era over the ensuing decades with pictures taken in New York, Paris and London. The Smithsonian Institution in Washington, has more than 130 Leonard photographs in its permanent collection.
His images helped to shape the visual archetype of the jazz musician. With their rich blacks, whites and silvers, they can strike the beholder, as one critic observed of jazz itself, “like the sound of surprise”.
As well as capturing musicians in performance, Leonard’s lens also recorded them off duty, and his portfolio contained such memorable shots as Louis Armstrong munching a sandwich while contemplating bottles of champagne, or the trumpeter lighting a cigarette as Duke Ellington looks on from the piano.

from AllAboutJazz.com
Having built a reputation as an exceptional reedman in Seattle, Dave Anderson presents a sparkling debut on the melodically rich Clarity, alternating between alto and soprano saxophones on eight original compositions and two covers. Having performed extensively throughout North America with luminaries like Jim McNeely, Clark Terry and the late great Mel Tormé, Anderson moved to Seattle in 2005 from his native Minnesota, forming Dave Anderson Quartet after a one-nighter at Egan’s Ballard Jamhouse. The group consists of pianist John Hansen; bassist Chuck Kistler; and drummer Adam Kessler, with Thomas Marriott taking to the flugelghorn in a guest appearance on “Wabi-Sabi.”
Anderson’s compositions are impressive, offering a varied selection of tones and harmonies, though he chooses to open the set with Joe Henderson’s spicy samba, “Y Ya La Quiero,” exploring it with his soprano voice, masterfully accompanied by Hansen. The frontline duet of Marriott and Anderson (again on soprano) on “Wabi-Sabi,” is something sweet and special, while “Stalemate” is the first tune to display Anderson’s alto chops, and presents Kistler’s first solo.
Hansen is certainly no slouch here either, providing more of his crisp clean lines with an extended run on the reverend up-tempo burner “Troubled Angel,” where the leader weighs in on another strong performance, again on the alto. One of the album’s many highlights is the intimate piano and soprano duet on the lofty “The Aviator,” offering both musicians the opportunity to explore individual flight patterns over the clear blue skies of Clarity. “Osby-an,” and “Free”—played with two distinctly different tempos and rhythms—provide convincing evidence of Anderson’s skills as a composer.

from the New York Times:
Abbey Lincoln, a singer whose dramatic vocal command and tersely poetic songs made her a singular figure in jazz, died on Saturday in Manhattan. She was 80 and lived on the Upper West Side.
Her death was announced by her brother David Wooldridge.
Ms. Lincoln’s career encompassed outspoken civil rights advocacy in the 1960s and fearless introspection in more recent years, and for a time in the 1960s she acted in films, including one with Sidney Poitier.
Long recognized as one of jazz’s most arresting and uncompromising singers, Ms. Lincoln gained similar stature as a songwriter only over the last two decades. Her songs, rich in metaphor and philosophical reflection, provide the substance of “Abbey Sings Abbey,” an album released on Verve in 2007. As a body of work, the songs formed the basis of a three-concert retrospective presented by Jazz at Lincoln Center in 2002.
