Andy Wheelock: Whee3trio: In The Wheelhouse

Read "Whee3trio: In The Wheelhouse" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan


The first minute of an imminent immersion into the sound of In the Wheelhouse, by drummer Andy Wheelock and the Whee3trio, is “rhythm, rhythm, rhythm." The second impression is “Africa." This is not surprising given that Wheelock took a good deal of his inspiration for this effort via his study of the Ghanaian gyil, a type of xylophone. He speaks of “running my gyil through the POG2 pedal while writing the music for this album, of playing the instrument with ...

Daniel García Trio: Wonderland

Read "Wonderland" reviewed by Mike Jurkovic


On their third release for Germany's ACT Music, pianist Daniel Garcia, bassist Reinier El Negrón and drummer Michael Olivera display in spades why they have moved to the fore of the fiery foment of Spain's spirited and trailblazing jazz scene with the imaginative and highly approachable Wonderland.

Clarence Penn: Behind the Voice

Read "Behind the Voice" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Drummer Clarence Penn, a serious force on the scene for more than three decades, has worked with a who's who of vocalists--Betty Carter, Kandace Springs, Luciana Souza, Kate McGarry, Nellie McKay, Claudia Acuña, Paula Cole, Melissa Walker and Nneena Freelon, to name just a few. He knows more than a thing or two about history and creativity behind the voice, and he's here to show it with this sharply-constructed date. Working with a stacked lineup of singers and instrumentalists, and ...

Trio Grande: Urban Myth

Read "Urban Myth" reviewed by Mario Calvitti


Il chitarrista israeliano Gilad Hekselman si è da tempo distinto come uno degli interpreti moderni più interessanti del suo strumento con i suoi vari progetti solistici, e anche questa recente collaborazione lo conferma. Il trio denominato Trio Grande è stato formato dal chitarrista nel 2019 insieme al sassofonista e tastierista Will Vinson e al batterista Antonio Sanchez, e lo stesso anno ha registrato un album omonimo pubblicato nel 2020 in piena pandemia, il che ha impedito al gruppo di esibirsi ...

Ben Winkelman: Heartbeat

Read "Heartbeat" reviewed by Neil Duggan


Awaiting the arrival of his first child while locked down in New York City during the pandemic were probably not the circumstances which pianist Ben Winkelman would ideally have chosen for writing new music. Nonetheless, taking inspiration from the anticipation of fatherhood and the feeling of isolation acted as the catalyst for the nine compositions which make up his sixth album, Heartbeat. His previous albums focused on a piano trio format; this one marks a slight change as ...

Nicole Zuraitis: How Love Begins

Read "How Love Begins" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


Love is not for the faint of heart.  Its tides are unpredictable, bound to different souls, intensifying and ebbing in parallel to the feelings and favors of each individual who exerts their gravitational pull on an evolving romance.  Musically charting those waters--depicting the full scope of that sea through song--is no simple feat. Yet some supreme talents, like this one, make it happen and make it look easy. Nicole Zuraitis--a first-rate songwriter, powerhouse vocalist and grade-A pianist--proves to be an ...
