Don Friedman: Waltz for Debby
by Andrey Henkin
Somewhere Attila Zoller is smiling, pleased to see to his one-time foil, pianist Don Friedman, playing to a full audience at the Jazz Standard last month in support of his new album Waltz for Debby. Those giddy days of the Zoller-Friedman quartet days are long past, but Don Friedman has lost little of the touch that ...
Marlena Shaw: Live in Tokyo
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
The very young 441 Records has a great plan: bringing Sony and JVC Japanese releases to wider audiences... and this one is a corker. But then, so is Marlena Shaw, a fascinating performer who takes absolute (yet warm and friendly) command of every audience lucky enough to see her. This live CD, recorded at the B-flat ...
Joe Chambers: Urban Grooves
by Alexander M. Stern
What can one say about the redoubtable Joe Chambers? An adventurous drummer with an eternally questioning spirit, he has certainly played with his share of the greats. Yet Chambers hasn’t received the same accolades as contemporaries like Elvin Jones or Tony Williams. It certainly isn’t for lack of talent or technical ability. The problem, perhaps, has ...
Don Friedman: Waltz for Debby
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
At the dire risk of committing gratuitous alliteration, there are four “un"s that apply to Don Friedman's playing: under-recorded, under-rated, uncluttered, and unpretentious.

Like any ...
Hank Jones/The Great Jazz Trio: Autumn Leaves
by Mark Corroto
As quiet and unassuming as Hank Jones’ music tends to be, matching him with brother Elvin doesn’t interrupt his thoughtful manner. This session, recorded in May of 2002, is only the fourth time the two brothers from Detroit have recorded together, the last being Upon Reflection–The Music of Thad Jones, a tribute to their departed sibling ...
Ian Shaw: A World Still Turning
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
I know I'm late to the party, since Briton Ian Shaw already has two Milestone CDs out in North America, but I've only recently “discovered" him with his first release for 441 Records, that new label run by seasoned hands. I have only one word for his music--yowpers! --but will be pleased to elaborate. In a ...
Baby Face Willette: Face to Face
by John Sharpe
As is the case with most organists, Willette was heavily influenced by keyboard titan Jimmy Smith. Unfortunately, in contrast to Smith's prolific output, Baby Face recorded just 4 albums under his own name and then disappeared from the jazz scene. “Face to Face", recorded in 1961, was one of two sessions he did for Blue Note ...
