Dr. Lonnie Smith: The Turbanator
by John Sharpe
Organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, who has often been confused with keyboardist/pianist Lonnie Liston Smith, is perhaps best known for his work with guitarist George Benson and saxophonist Lou Donaldson. Smith’s fiery, funky, R&B-based approach made him the ideal soul-jazz accompanist. Compared to these early efforts, The Turbanator is a rather mellow, albeit very enjoyable, outing. Perhaps ...
Sheila Jordan: From the Heart
by Mathew Bahl
From the Heart is a compilation CD that draws from three out-of-print albums Sheila Jordan recorded for the now defunct Muse label: Old Time Feeling (1982), Lost and Found (1989), and Heart Strings (1993). While these records deserve to reissued in their entirety, by culling tracks from each album, 32 Jazz has created a perfect single ...
Richard Davis: Forest Flowers
by Glenn Astarita
Most jazz aficionados should be familiar with the artistry of bassist Richard Davis who over the years has performed with the best and brightest, spanning multiple genres. Davis is also a preeminent bowed bassist and with Forest Flowers, “32 Jazz” sees good reason to re-release material Davis recorded during the mid to late 70’s, as these ...
The Drummonds: When You Wish Upon A Star
by David A. Orthmann
It is refreshing to hear three of the most forward thinking musicians in the jazz mainstream tackle material from the Great American Songbook in a decidedly conventional manner. Bassist Ray Drummond, drummer Billy Drummond (no relation), and pianist Renee Rosnes, all first call New York area players and leaders in their own right, play tunes like ...
Cedar Walton: The Maestro
by David A. Orthmann
There’s a lot of memorable music on this reissue of two sessions recorded a decade apart.

The music from December, 1980 (tracks 1-8) includes tenor saxophonist Bob Berg (the fourth member of the ...

Abbey Lincoln appears as a ...

Charles Earland: The Almighty Bu rner
by John Sharpe
Jazz/funk organist Charles Earland, who died on December 11, 1999 of a heart attack at age 58, began his musical career playing saxophone in a high school dance band. Earland switched to the Hammond B-3 in 1963 and like so many who have taken up that instrument he would never scale the heights or escape the ...
Cindy Blackman: A Lil
by Jim Santella
Drummer Cindy Blackman propels her hard bop ensembles the way Art Blakey did. With a compilation taken from her four Muse recordings (1987-1995), 32 Jazz has found an appropriate way to demonstrate her tasteful leadership while revealing Blackman’s crisp and powerful drum work. That she studied classical percussion at the University of Hartford is evident in ...
