FORQ at The World Cafe Live
by Mike Jacobs
FORQ The World Café Live Philadelphia PA July 31 2017 One can be well-versed in the two (whoops, now three) albums worth of music by FORQ, (and in the music from the other bands the individual members hail from) and still not be totally prepared for the impact of ...
Yelena Eckemoff: In The Shadow Of A Cloud
by John Kelman
She may rarely perform live in this context, but Yelena Eckemoff has managed to build, over just seven years and a mammoth eleven releases--including her second release of 2017, In the Shadow of a Cloud--a loyal and growing following in the jazz world. It's all the more remarkable for a multi-talented expat Russian pianist who began ...
Ravi Coltrane Live in Montreal and New York City
by Dave Kaufman
Ravi Coltrane continues to evolve as an artist of remarkable depth and breadth as reflected in the diversity of contexts in which he engages. Coltrane was featured in three different musical settings at the recent (2017) Montreal International Jazz Festival Invitation Series. All concerts were held at the Centre de Creativite Gesu, an intimate concert hall ...
Nate Smith: Kinfolk: Postcards from Everywhere
by Mike Jacobs
To get right to it, rarely does a first effort as leader come along that is so worthy of attention. With Postcards From Everywhere, Nate Smith has offered a many-faceted jewel whose luster only grows with re-examination. On one level, this is indeed an album that satisfies the requisite expectations for a debut from ...
Adam Rogers: DICE
by Dan Bilawsky
At some point in time, fusion lost its way. Some say it never really had a firm enough direction, existing only as a symbol of excess, power, and virtuosity to begin with. But those steeped in '70s and early '80s music of this sort know the truth: A perfect blend of rip-roaring lines, one-step-beyond melodicism, feats ...
Panama Jazz Festival 2017
by Mark Holston
Panama Jazz Festival Ciudad del Saber, Republic of Panama January 10-14, 2017 In terms of the number of marquee musicians it features over the course of five days, the annual Panama Jazz Festival is far from being in the big leagues of similar events in Latin American. That, however, only tells part ...

Randy Brecker: Hittin' It with "RandyPOP!"
by Bob Kenselaar
In his 62 years playing music--starting trumpet at eight years old--Randy Brecker has played all kinds of music, but for many years now, he's mostly been known as a solid, top-flight, first-call jazz player, a modern post-bop soloist and bandleader who carries around his old '70s fusion-funk Brecker Brothers fame in his back pocket. So, with ...
John Patitucci: Brooklyn
by Luca Muchetti
Il ritorno al passato di John Patitucci. Basterebbe il titolo, Brooklyn, per evocare esordi e gioventù del musicista statunitense, ma la scelta di utilizzare il solo basso elettrico in tutte e undici le tracce di questo nuovo album la dice lunga e ci libera da ogni possibile titubanza sulla direzione intrapresa dal bassista del Wayne Shorter ...
