Chris Dingman: Waking Dreams

Read "Waking Dreams" reviewed by David Rickert

by David Rickert
August 16, 2011

Judging by Waking Dreams, Chris Dingman has spent a lot of time listening to Bobby Hutcherson's classic Blue Note albums. Given that his instrument of choice is the vibes, it should come as no surprise, but it's uncanny how much Dingman's debut resembles classics like Oblique (1967) and Patterns (1968) in sound and feel. Heck, there's ...

Chris Dingman: Waking Dreams

Read "Waking Dreams" reviewed by Mark F. Turner

by Mark F. Turner
July 5, 2011

He releases albums, as a leader for both Criss Cross and his own Mythology label, at a rate that many top jazz artists did during the late 1950's and early 1960's. Less than six months into 2011, he has already offered up Graylen Epicenter (Mythology) and ...

David Binney: Barefooted Town

Read "Barefooted Town" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman
June 20, 2011

Politics isn't the only thing that increasingly demands clear vision and steadfast commitment (even if it isn't getting it). In the jazz world--where the changing landscape makes getting heard one challenge, acceptance by a broader culture that views “jazz" as a dirty word another--it takes artists with unshakable resolve to stay the course. David Binney has ...
