DownBeat Magazine # March 2013 Volume 80, Number 3

Cover p.26 : Ben Harper & Charlie Musselwhite Dancing Around the Bones BY JOSEF WOODARD Guitarist and singer Ben Harper frequently has sought out the counsel of older, wiser musicians, including harmonica master Charlie Musselwhite. When the pair worked on a session with John Lee Hooker, the seed of a collaborative project was planted, and the newly released Get Up! Stax is the gleaming result. DownBeat brought these kindred souls together for a conversation about Chicago blues lore, American musical heroes and the “will of the music.” Features p.34 : Wayne Shorter Negotiating with the Unexpected BY JOSEF WOODARD p.42 : Clayton Brothers We Are Family BY DAN OUELLETTE p.46 : Lewis Nash Connecting to the Source BY KEN MICALLEF p.50 : Indie Life SPECIAL SECTION p.79 : 2013 International Jazz Camp Guide DEPARTMENTS p.10 : First Take p.12 : Chords & Discords p.15 : The Beat p.16 : Riffs p.20 : European Scene p.22 : Players Scott Robinson Elina Duni Kelly Joe Phelps Matthew Silberman p.59 : Reviews p.108 : Master Class By Travis Reuter p.110 : Pro Session By Dan Wilensky p.112 : Transcription p.114: Toolshed p.118 : Jazz On Campus p.122 : Blindfold Test Ed Cherry
