Piero Umiliani: A Tempo Di Jazz

Read "A Tempo Di Jazz" reviewed by Chris May

Read "O Sole Mio! Music From The Motherland" reviewed by Jack Bowers


O Sole Mio!, the latest in a series of splendid albums by Canadian-bred saxophonist/entrepreneur Cory Weeds, is subtitled “Music from the Motherland"-- in other words, Italy, which, presumably, is Woods' ancestral home.
