Tal Wilkenfeld is a musical marvel; the kind of dynamic young talent whose fresh vision and uncanny intuition puts a whole new perspective on an age-old art form. Like a muse-lit meteor, Tal blazed onto the music scene as a teen, sitting in with the Allman Brothers within months of her 2006 arrival in New York City. By the end of 2007, she had released her acclaimed, instrumental debut, Transformation, and hit the road with Chick Corea. Tal went on to appear on A&E with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, then joined Jeff Beck’s world tour for what culminated in her global breakout moment

Tal Wilkenfeld: Cosmic Joke

Read "Tal Wilkenfeld: Cosmic Joke" reviewed by Mike Jacobs


Though Australian bass wunderkind Tal Wilkenfeld may have indeed left jazz behind in favor of a more singer/songwriter-type rock approach, the music she put forth on her debut album Transformation (Goldelux Productions, 2007) still leaves an impression and a hope she will one day return to it. Superlative writing and playing from the then 20-year-old and ...

Top Ten Jazz Tracks for Surf Music

Read "Top Ten Jazz Tracks for Surf Music" reviewed by Alan Bryson
