 | | Early jazz influences found their first mainstream expression in the marching band and dance band music of the day, which was the standard form of popular concert music at the turn of century. | | | When jazz musicians improvise, they usually use a chord progression — the series of chords that define the harmonic structure of a piece of music. | | | Jazz has roots in West African cultural and musical expression, and in African American music traditions including blues and ragtime, as well as European military band music. |

| | The World of Jazz - Larousse Encyclopedia of Music |
| | All jazz is syncopated music, but not all syncopated music is jazz. | | | Jazz is based on the principles of improvisation on a given harmonic base. | | | From here on jazz was to be a musician's music, its harmonic conventions so convoluted that it became increasingly difficult for the untrained ear to distinguish the justified neologism from the unjustified solecism. |

| | All That Jazz - The year's best records. By Fred Kaplan |
| | The pianist Geri Allen is another musician who had been strongest as a side player—to such giants as Ornette Coleman, Charlie Haden, Abbey Lincoln, and Lester Bowie—until she uncorked this album, her first as a leader in six years and her best by far. | | | The band on Buzz is Allison's sextet (the collective's other bands, and albums, are led by pianist Frank Kimbrough, saxophonist Ted Nash, and trumpeter Ron Horton, but for the most part feature the same personnel), and its music is laced with rhythmic wit, off-centered blues, and a film noir air of mystery. | | | This is her fifth album in a dozen years, her first on an artist-controlled label that sells CDs (and bonus-feature downloads) exclusively over the Internet. |

| | CD Review of Roger Kellaway - I Was There: Roger Kellaway Plays From The Bobby Darin Songbook on IPO Recordings @ ... |
| | Despite the challenge involved in working with Darin, Kellaway nonetheless remembers those years with affection, and now he has joined the growing list of jazz pianists releasing solo albums within the past several years. | | | The difference with I Was There is that it’s thematically based, and all of the songs on it are those that Kellaway performed with Darin. | | | It turns out that Kellaway had vocal training at the New England Conservatory, and he had concentrated on his gifts at the piano during all of these years until Darin’s former publicist suggested that Kellaway sing. |

| | THE NEW TRISTANO a review of Atlantic 1357 Downbeat, June 7, 1962 |
| | This album, Tristano's first since 1955, is a milestone in jazz piano history. | | | On most tracks he plays a chord on almost every beat, creating a walking bass line, instead of comping as would most modern pianists. | | | The reason probably has something to do with the dissatisfaction he has expressed with many bassists and drummers. |
