Linda Oh Trio: Entry
by Mark F. Turner
First appearances and sounds can be deceiving. Linda Oh's petite stature defies the muscularity that her instrument emanates--a knotty booming bass that's at once authoritative and free flowing, delivered with momentum and zest. And like the well-noted arcos of Charles Mingus, Dave Holland and Charlie Haden, Oh already has the traits to become a noteworthy player ...
Brother Thelonious Quintet: Brother Thelonious
by Mark Corroto
Nobody can deny the distinctive signature of Thelonious Monk's music. Written for simple piano, bass, and drums, it is a remarkable blending of melody, harmony, and rhythm.

David Binney: Third Occasion
by J Hunter
The cool thing about liner notes is they contain clues about other places to look for great music. For example, cast members of Joel Harrison's flame-throwing Urban Myths (HighNote, 2009) have their own fish to fry: keyboardist Daniel Kelly gave the piano trio format a good swift kick with Emerge (Brooklyn Jazz Underground, 2009), and now ...
