Various Artists: Sax In The City
by Stephen Latessa
A collection of New York's best women jazz instrumentalists would be an enticing compilation in and of itself, but throw in the fact that proceeds from the CD will benefit breast cancer charities and the project is very hard to pass up. Organized by alto saxophonist Laura Dreyer, Sax In The City features eleven tracks led ...

The cover of Veronica Martell's The Art of Intimacy says it all. A lovely woman indeed, her portrait exudes an air of mystery and seduction.

Ada Rovatti: Airbop
by Woodrow Wilkins
Jazz may be indigenous to America, but it's a worldwide experience. Artists from Europe, Africa, and Asia have adopted this art form and created music that's so pure and gimmick-free, it's as if they were born with it.

Bill Moring and his cohorts seem completely at home in this “cordless" context and his rich, driving acoustic bass playing more than ...

Perhaps this may explain why some Europeans are among the world's best jazz performers.One of these is Rome native Patrizia Scascitelli, one of the ...

Ada Rovatti: Under The Hat
by Todd S. Jenkins
Born in Italy, trained at Berklee and a semi-veteran of Europe’s jazz scene, Ada Rovatti comes as quite a discovery to American ears. She possesses not only a powerful tenor tone and sharp technical facility, but also a significant gift for jazz composition. Her performances on this album are marvelous and further polished by the presence ...
