In This Issue
- Jon Batiste: Jazz Artist, Beyond Artist & Beyond Album of the Year ║ By Suzanne Lorge
- On the surface of things, it seems counterintuitive that DownBeat critics would name the same musician both Jazz Artist of the Year and Beyond Artist of the Year, until you learn that the musician in question is Jon Batiste, and suddenly the double billing makes sense.

- Blindfold Test: Spike Wilner ║ By Ted Panken
- As the proprietor of two globally famous Greenwich Village jazz clubs, pianist Michael “Spike” Wilner, 55, has booked most of New York’s finest practitioners of the 88s since he purchased Smalls in 2007 and opened Mezzrow in 2014, while continuing to refine his own, distinctive tonal personality on the instrument, as documented most recently on Aliens And Wizards (Cellar Live), with bassist Tyler Mitchell and drummer Anthony Pinciotti. This is his first Blindfold Test.
