The Jason Lindner Big Band: Live At The Jazz Gallery

Read "Live At The Jazz Gallery" reviewed by Mark F. Turner


If you think that jazz composition for large ensembles is out of touch with the current music environment then listen to pianist/composer Jason Lindner's Live At The Jazz Gallery. Like contemporaries Maria Schneider with Sky Blue (ArtistShare, 2007) and Guillermo Klein's Una Nave (Sunnyside Records, 2005); Lindner breathes new life into the historically informed “big band ...

Trumpeter Avishai Cohen has had a varied musical career. He toured with the Young Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra and then went into a wider spectrum playing jazz, pop and rock.

Manuel Valera: Vientos

Read "Vientos" reviewed by Jim Santella


Pianist Manuel Valera merges a classical woodwind quintet with his traditional jazz quartet on a whirlwind of original adventure and swing. His chamber jazz ambience has been influenced by classical composers such as Debussy, Ravel, Stravinsky and Shostakovich but Valera has replaced the French horn from the classical idiom with a bass clarinet, giving a different ...

Yo Bobby!, the debut recording of the downtown New York jazz septet Waverly Seven, is a two-disc tribute to Bobby Darin, its twenty-four instrumental tracks all recorded by the late singer sometime during his career.

Joel Frahm: We Used to Dance

Read "We Used to Dance" reviewed by Jim Santella


Working with pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Rufus Reid and drummer Victor Lewis on a straight-ahead jazz session would be a real treat for anyone. It turns out to be especially fruitful for tenor saxophonist Joel Frahm, who delivers this program of standards and originals with an artist's delicate touch.

Anat Cohen: Poetica

Read "Poetica" reviewed by Jack Bowers


This is a wonderfully recorded session, overflowing with tender, charming melodies, and everyone involved is a world-class musician. On the other hand, it's not exactly jazz: more like chamber music, bordering at times on classical and not too many steps removed from the venerable klezmer tradition. There is improvisation, but it flows so easily from the ...

Anat Cohen & The Anzic Orchestra: Noir

Read "Noir" reviewed by Jack Bowers


Frankly, I had no idea what to expect from Anat Cohen's first big band album. But if I'd had any expectations, they'd have easily been surpassed by the time the opening track reached its midway point. Cohen plays clarinet on that selection, and it's easy to understand why music critics have named her one of Down ...

Anat Cohen: Place & Time

Read "Place & Time" reviewed by Donald Elfman


How thoroughly refreshing it is to hear a young musician who really does have a sense of place and time, in the best possible ways! Saxophonist Anat Cohen imbues her tunes and her playing with an understanding of how to use space and rhythm and, having played in many countries, with a feeling for other cultures ...
