Leo Genovese, Demian Cabaud, Marcos Cavaleiro: Estrellero
by John Ephland
Leo Genovese's piano can sound like an orchestra. It does as much amidst his voluminous solo work on bassist Demian Cabaud's Arbol Negro," his thick chords, the density of his playing full and ripe.

The contrast emerges in Genovese's own voice as he marks time with Cabaud's more plodding, abstract pen. ...

As jazz's purest melodism? The music of Coleman, who would have turned 91 years on March 9 2021, was all of those things and many more. Why shouldn't a body of work that presents so many points of entry be as ubiquitous on record as that ...
