Bill Kirchner Nonet: Trance Dance
by Mark Corroto
You can’t just jump in your car these days and go check out a jazz nonet. For that matter, live jazz doesn’t exist in most of our cities, except in New York where an arm and a leg or your first born is generally the admittance price to see “the stars.” But, I digress. Back to ...
Dave Pietro: Now Becoming Then
by Glenn Astarita
Now Becoming Then is saxophonist-composer, Dave Pietro’s third release for Dutch-basedA-Records. Pietro is a smooth operator whether performing on soprano, alto or C-melody saxophones which is very much evident from the opening seconds of the breezy and tightly arranged title track, “Now Becoming Then”. Here, Pietro’s crisp, fluent and melodic phrasing on alto-sax rides atop a ...
Franklin/Clover Project: Two Worlds

Paduart is a fine pianist and displays roots and influences that seemingly trace the progression of jazz’ melodic and harmonically gifted pianists commencing with the Bill Evans school through Chick Corea. Paduart is in ...
Haven't We Met?: Diane Hubka
by AAJ Staff
She was asked if she had made a CD, and the answer was direct: “Well yes, I am making plans for that, as a matter of fact." Simple but confident, like the cover picture: a smile unposed and sincere. The sunny picture befits the album - underrated standards and surprising originals sung in a voice that ...
Tierney Sutton: Introducing Tierney Sutton
by Jack Bowers
Like many other talented jazz singers, Tierney Sutton loves to crank up the tempo and let 'er rip. Well and good. The problem is, she is far more engaging and persuasive when she's interpreting ballads, and it is the half-dozen ballads--"You're Nearer," “It Never Entered My Mind," “Morning Sun," “High Wire," “I'm a Fool to Want ...
