Amanda Monaco: I Think I'll Keep You

Read "I Think I'll Keep You" reviewed by Stuart Broomer

Amanda Monaco 4: Intention

Read "Intention" reviewed by Clifford Allen


The midrange frequently offers more interesting textures, colors and possibilities in improvised music, precisely because it is sometimes a music that's, even to the initiated, thought of as an art form that embraces the extremes.

Amanda Monaco 4: Intention

Read "Intention" reviewed by Elliott Simon


Over and above ability, it takes chops, confidence and cool for jazz guitarists to invite a tenor saxophonist to partake in their music.

Amanda Monaco: Amanda Monaco 4

Read "Amanda Monaco 4" reviewed by Clifford Allen


In jazz, a relative paucity of standout players has made the guitar an instrument ripe for the development of an interesting dialect. By nature, this paucity allows for a greater degree of individuality - there are many Freddie Hubbards but far fewer Attila Zollers. Amanda Monaco, a relative newcomer on the New York front, has studied ...
