The Bob Lark / Phil Woods Quintet: Live at the Jazz Showcase

Read "Live at the Jazz Showcase" reviewed by Jack Bowers


The order of names on this superb in-concert CD could have gone either way. On the one hand, four-fifths of the quintet is actually the Phil Woods Quartet; on the other, trumpeter Bob Lark, who shares the front line for a second time with alto saxophonist Woods (their 2006 collaboration for Jazzed Media was In Her ...

Danilo Perez Trio: Live at the Jazz Showcase

Read "Live at the Jazz Showcase" reviewed by Robert R. Calder


Danilo Perez Live! is the intended message of this set. Somebody must have decided that the pianist sounds better (livelier, more spontaneous) on gigs than in the studio. Startlingly young in Dizzy Gillespie's United Nation (not Nations) Orchestra, Perez (born in 1978) is currently the pianist in Wayne Shorter's quartet. While this live trio set goes ...

Danilo Perez Trio: Live at the Jazz Showcase

Read "Live at the Jazz Showcase" reviewed by Jerry D'Souza

The DePaul University Jazz Ensemble: Live at the Jazz Showcase

Read "Live at the Jazz Showcase" reviewed by Jack Bowers


I hear a lot these days about how college students are being taught Jazz–by–the–numbers instead of how to think and react creatively in an extemporaneous situation, but I simply can’t buy into that line of reasoning, especially when listening to a group of young musicians as sharp and audacious as those in director Bob Lark’s Chicago–based ...
