The Omer Avital Group - "Free Forever" (Part 2 of 4 Part Series)
OVERVIEW: For those looking for a quick synopsis of Free Forever, and they don't get much pithier than this, I can satisfy your curiosity in three words: Go Get It. This album has so much to offer. When I looked at the release date, I was a bit shocked to see 2011; I've seen most of ...
Jack Reilly - "Live at Maybeck Recital Hall"

The reviews will be closer to the standard review format (i.e. pithy with no detailed track analysis). Easy ...
Anat Fort Trio - "And If"
OVERVIEW: When it comes to music, I'm all about the mood. Thankfully, the career I have allows me to listen to music almost all day long—and not softly from computer speakers or a radio; I use a set of Shure SRH840 professional studio monitoring headphones which provide great detail, instrument separation, and a level of isolation ...
