Art of Life Records
by Marc Medwin
"It's gotta be done right, Art of Life frontman Paul G. Kohler says matter-of-factly. His is a voice that exudes neither superfluous zeal nor unnecessary self-importance. It has to sound good, that's all. His label has been run along similarly stringent lines; Kohler might just as soon put out a reissue as drop a new session ...
Gordon Beck: Jazz Trio

by Marc Medwin
British pianist Gordon Beck is simply not as well known here in the States as he should be, given his long and fruitful career, and hopefully this reissue of a 1972 release on the Italian Dire label will help set that right.

Eddie Gomez and Mark Kramer: Art of the Heart

by Robert R. Calder

This combines for a ...
Ron Thomas Trio: Music in Three Parts

by Dan McClenaghan
Relative simplicity and a complete lack of pretense are two features that make Music in Three Parts such a standout sound. The disc's six tunes are based on three different musical figures: the three Improptus" on a figure in D minor; the two Caprices" on a figure in C major; and the final Epilog" on a ...
Eddie Gomez and Mark Kramer: Art of the Heart

by Victor L. Schermer
Eddie Gómez is a legendary master bassist who, among his many affiliations, performed for more than a decade with the immortal pianist Bill Evans. Mark Kramer is a Philadelphia phenomenon, a Renaissance man who has worked not only as a fine musician and recording artist but also has had a career as a prominent physician and ...
