Julian Shore: Sub Rosa
by Jack Kenny
Sub Rosa demonstrates that Julian Shore now plays a key role in the evolution of the jazz piano trio. The jazz piano trio can be seen as the genre's answer to the classical string quartet. Both demand exceptional playing skills, intense listening, and a delicate balance among musicians. However, achieving this quality in a jazz trio is arguably more challenging, as musicians improvise rather than relying entirely on scores. This makes a deep, collusive camaraderie essential.

by Angelo Leonardi
Con questo splendido doppio album, Alex Goodman esce dal limbo dei talentosi chitarristi emergenti per entrare a pieno titolo tra i solisti e compositori più interessanti del jazz contemporaneo.

by Troy Dostert
After numerous sideman appearances with a wide swath of the jazz world, from Albert “Tootie" Heath to Greg Osby and Ambrose Akinmusire, bassist Martin Nevin felt it was time to take on a more prominent role. For Tenderness is Silent, his debut disc as a leader, he's assembled a top-flight band, especially as these players are fully dialed-in to Nevin's vision--one that relies much more on subtle, understated beauty than overt gestures and “look-at-me" showmanship.
