by John Kelman
Times sure have been tough for pianist Kenny Werner, and yet, he seems to be turning tragedy into triumph, mining the depths of emotion caused by the accidental death of his daughter, Katheryn, in 2006. While he's been playing in the years since, he was noticeably quiet on the recording front until No Beginning, No End ...
Billy Childs: The Perfect Picture
by Esther Berlanga-Ryan
There is a somewhat-still-virgin musical territory that rests its innocent heart where classical music ends and jazz commences.

Donny McCaslin: Perpetual Motion
by Dan McClenaghan
Saxophonist Donny McCaslin can be called, quite accurately, a fearless player, whether it's for his prodigious and always adventurous work as a sideman--very notably with trumpeter Dave Douglas' quintet and with Maria Schneider's award-winning orchestra (for which he garnered a Grammy nomination), or on his own discs as a leader.McCaslin's musical spirit is a ...
