Various Artists: Cincinnati Jazz Collection, Volume III: The Blues
by Jim Santella
Like most other metropolitan areas around the world, Cincinnati has a fruitful jazz and blues scene. Where would we be without this kind of tradition? The songs tell stories.

Various Artists: J-Curve Cincinnati Jazz Collection Volume II
by Jim Santella
Recorded one year after volume one, J-Curve’s second Cincinnati jazz sampler matches the high quality of musicianship and free, swinging attitude of the earlier adventure.

Born to a musical family, the talented pianist ...

by Jack Bowers
While I’ve always found it difficult (if not impossible) to identify pianists in a blindfold test (okay, I think I could name Oscar Peterson, Erroll Garner and a few others), I do know enough to separate the sheep from the goats — in other words, I think I can tell who the players are, who swings ...
