Tommy Muellner: Solitary Moon

Read "Solitary Moon" reviewed by Jack Bowers

by Jack Bowers

Pianist Tommy Muellner, a fixture on the Chicago-area jazz scene for many years, has not recorded often--Solitary Moon is only his second album as leader, following 1998's (All) About Time. That is a 28-year span between visits to the studio, more than numerous careers, let alone recording sessions. This is by and large lovely ...

Sketches Of Spain Or Somethin' Else

Read "Sketches Of Spain Or Somethin' Else" reviewed by Mike Raggett

by Mike Raggett

The Morning After It's the 1970s, the days before satnav, cell phones and Google Maps. I'm an Englishman working in Spain.

Max Roach: Deeds, Not Words

Read "Deeds, Not Words" reviewed by Richard J Salvucci

by Richard J Salvucci

Sometimes, someone listens to a recording mostly for one track. This is such a recording. Quite naturally, it involves drummer Max Roach. If he had to stake his reputation on one extended solo, some might say Roach on “Conversation" is the one. Not all drummers, suffice it to say, are melodic. But a first-time listener can ...
