Around The Jazz Internet: Aug. 3, 2012

Where we are bracing for 16 hours of live Newport broadcasting.

• More Newport Jazz previews: ten picks from Jim Macnie, an AP article from David Klepper, a profile of Bill Frisell (playing thrice) by Siddhartha Mitter.
• The great drummer and educator Michael Carvin has gotten some overdue attention on the web lately. This AllAboutJazz piece is enormous. For fans of audio, WBGO interviewed him too.
• Top 10 Miles Davis performances on standards, as selected by PopMatters.
• Ten Kenny Barron clips on the Internet.
• Five recordings of jazz standards sampled on rap records.
• Dafnis Prieto, interviewed for Nextbop.
• Dena DeRose, now known as a jazz vocalist, was studying classical piano in college — until she developed carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis.
• Phil Schaap is writing books. The jazz historian (and a mentor to the author) has an elephantine memory so hopefully a slice of it will live on in print.
• More talk about the slow death of the jazz standard. James Hale talks to people for the CBC. Howard Mandel weighs in.
• Cutty Cutshall, trombonist, is the latest in a series looking at Pittsburgh jazz legends.
• A man who brought jazz to church.
• John Coltrane as smooth jazz.
• Destination: Out has posted more Wadada Leo Smith material in celebration of their contest and the trumpeter's new four-disc set.
• The Jazz Session spoke with trumpeter John D'Earth and big bandleader Doug Richards, both of central Virginia.
• The Checkout featured the Christian Scott Berklee concert.

Elsewhere at NPR Music:
