JazzWax by Marc Myers
I've always loved Renee Rosnes's piano—on albums and in concert. She appears on stage, politely recognizes the audience and then disappears into a stormy world of musical energy, complex originality and passion.

I've known Renee's husband, Bill Charlap, for years and have huge admiration for him. He's a gorgeous, exceptional jazz player and accompanist. ...

Weingart and Jones transcend the boundaries of jazz even further, producing an album that echoes the futurist pulse of ‘70s progressive rock and the synthetic layers of fusion. It’s a quirky yet accessible work, following the duo’s formula of knitting together infectious hooks with high-I.Q. experimentation. The ...
