by Jerome Wilson
The title of this release by drummer Brian Woodruff suggests a set of meditative, spiritually-focused jazz by his long-standing sextet. While that may be the underlying theme of the disc but only a couple of tracks have that actual sound. The others go off in several different directions. The album is dedicated to Woodruff's spiritual advisor, Monsignor Edward Straub, and the title track was written to celebrate his 75th birthday and his 50th Anniversary in the priesthood. It ...

Lohninger had been considering a ballads recording for ...

by C. Michael Bailey

This will be reflected this year as I will provide two best-of-2013 lists: one for (primarily) jazz vocals and one for everything else.

That said, one could readily believe that everyone ...
