by Glenn Astarita
Infused with an inventive and organic zest, Town of Two Faces swings into the spotlight under the deft ensemble of Charlotte Greve on alto saxophone or voice, Vinnie Sperrazza on drums, Chris Tordini on acoustic bass. It is graced by a cameo from Fay Victor, a voice which paints jazz in bold uncharted colors, with her knack for reimagining the vocal weave in the jazz tapestry with her deep dive into a memorably melodic blues-and gospel-shaded piece, entitled “In Heaven." ...

by Dan Bilawsky
As strange as it may sound, sometimes the best way to break free is to simply box yourself in. Limitations obviously cut off certain possibilities entirely, but they open the mind to so many others in the process. Composer (and trombonist) Jacob Garchik has long subscribed to that line of thinking and he takes it to bold heights on this, the most original, least derivative big band recording to arrive in ages. Basically throwing out the rule ...

by John Sharpe
On Both Are True Canadian composers and reed players Anna Webber and Angela Morris reimagine the language of the big band. They extend the tradition through adventurous arrangements spiced with the unpredictability of improv, by co-opting the nimbleness of a much smaller group, and reveling in non-standard techniques. Webber has already garnered plaudits for the work of her Simple Trio with Matt Mitchell and John Hollenbeck, while Morris' ventures such as the Motel Trio boast a lower profile so far. ...
read moreLisbeth Quartet: Grow
by AAJ Italy Staff
Leader di questo Lisbeth Quartet è la ventunenne Charlotte Greve, allieva di Dick Oatts e Loren Stillman. La musica proposta ricalca tutto l'entusiasmo ed il vigore della giovane formazione, ma difetta di originalità. È un gruppo già molto coeso e promettente, che data la giovane età dei componenti non possiede lo spessore dei grandi musicisti per una proposta originale. A parziale discolpa del quartetto, l'essersi cimentati con una formula che difficilmente sfugge ad inevitabili confronti di stile e prassi strumentale. ...
