Ellie Lee: Escape
by Richard J Salvucci
The term “promising" is typically used to describe a new arrival on the jazz scene. It may be synonymous with “hard to pigeonhole," or, perhaps, not yet completely realized in some stylistic sense. In the case of Ellie (Seunghyung) Lee, the word is misleading. Lee conjures up echoes of other distinguished players, but she clearly has ...

Nitai Hershkovits: Call on the Old Wise
by Mario Calvitti

Questa formula sarà ...

The trio at the core of Splashgirl have known each other since 2000--Jo Berger Myhre on bass, Andreas ...
