Jane Ira Bloom: Like Silver, Like Song
by Ernest Barteldes
If jazz experimentation is your cup of tea, this new album by soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom is an album to hear.

Jane Ira Bloom: Like Silver, Like Song
by Eyal Hareuveni
Jane Ira Bloom has a visual approach to sound. She is inspired by visual textures like the action paintings of Jackson Pollock (Chasing Paint, Arabesque, 2003); she adds her abstract black and white photography to her new release; but she describes Like Silver, Like Song as a continuous visual dream. A melodic dream, to be sure, ...

She assuredly guides her 17-piece band through cinematic compositions that would feel at home in a Golden Age Hollywood epic. Schneider is more interested in exploring the melodic, harmonic and textural possibilities the instrumentation ...
Maria Schneider Orchestra: Concert in the Garden

Maria Schneider's first three recordings have been admirable, due not only to her insight as a composer and her skills as an arranger, but also to the musicians that make up her orchestra. It is they who are the architects of her plan, and they get fully involved, giving the final edifice a rich presence and ...
