Read "Matt Cusson: Going Along" reviewed by Esther Berlanga-Ryan

by Esther Berlanga-Ryan

When Matt Cusson was barely three years old something was already starting to unfold within the little corners of his young heart.

Pamela Hines: This Heart Of Mine

Read "This Heart Of Mine" reviewed by Raul d'Gama Rose

by Raul d'Gama Rose

These kinds of generalizations can be overzealous; but despite the clear influence in the case of pianist Pamela Hines' This ...

Roberto Magris Trio: Kansas City Outbound

Read "Kansas City Outbound" reviewed by Dan McClenaghan

by Dan McClenaghan

Italian pianist Roberto Magris has, much in the mode of American piano icon Jessica Williams, melded multiple influences to shape his style. He channels McCoy Tyner, John Coltrane's pianist in his 1960's rise to jazz stardom, on Kansas City Outbound's opener/title tune. Dense chords and a powerful percussive attack are the well-executed game plan for the ...
