Peter Eldridge: Mad Heaven

Read "Mad Heaven" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


"Easy listening" is a term that's often associated with bland, tepid material which serves as background fodder in supermarkets and shopping malls, but the term isn't negative by nature. Easy listening has a positive side, and Peter Eldridge's Mad Heaven is the proof. Eldridge packages charming pieces in an easy-to-swallow format that belies the sophistication behind ...

Amy Cervini: Lovefool

Read "Lovefool" reviewed by Andrew Velez


For this recording songbird Amy Cervini drops ever so lightly upon songs on the theme of love.

Amy Cervini Quartet: Famous Blue

While many well-known jazz players are using pop or progressive rock tunes as the basis for improvisation, such as Greg Osby with the music of Bjork, there ...
