Richard Baratta: Off The Charts

Read "Off The Charts" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Drummer Richard Baratta's third album, Off the Charts, is a play on words, as he and his bandmates have taken lesser- known themes from a number of jazz masters that flew under the radar--in other words, were “off the charts"--and given them a fresh coat of paint, so to speak, to help redeem them from what ...

Richard Baratta: Off The Charts

Read "Off The Charts" reviewed by Pierre Giroux

The DiMartino / Osland Jazz Orchestra: Off the Charts

Read "Off the Charts" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Some things simply don’t compute. For example, big bands from Kentucky, of all places, aren’t supposed to sound nearly as sharp and sophisticated as this — but there’s no denying what one hears, and the aural evidence proves conclusively that the DiMartino / Osland Jazz Orchestra is one hip, pressure–cookin’ Jazz ensemble. This may have something ...
