Cuong Vu: It's Mostly Residual
by John Kelman
Since relocating from Seattle in '94, trumpeter Cuong Vu has emerged as an important voice on the New York Downtown Scene. While his reputation has continued to grow with solo releases including '00's Bound and '01's Come Play With Me, his four-year relationship with jazz megastar Pat Metheny has seen his name grow familiar to an ...
Danilo Perez Trio: Live at the Jazz Showcase
by Robert R. Calder
Danilo Perez Live! is the intended message of this set. Somebody must have decided that the pianist sounds better (livelier, more spontaneous) on gigs than in the studio. Startlingly young in Dizzy Gillespie's United Nation (not Nations) Orchestra, Perez (born in 1978) is currently the pianist in Wayne Shorter's quartet. While this live trio set goes ...
Jim Hall: Magic Meeting
by Joel Roberts
Jim Hall has long been an island of calm in a sea of overheated jazz guitarists. On countless solo efforts and memorable collaborations with Bill Evans, Paul Desmond, Sonny Rollins, and many others, Hall's subtlety and intelligence have elevated him above the crowd on an instrument where speed and pointless virtuosity unfortunately rule. ...
Danilo Perez Trio: Live at the Jazz Showcase
by Jerry D'Souza
Danilo Perez's first live recording at the Jazz Showcase in Chicago with bassist Ben Street and drummer Adam Cruz finds the trio building an empathic level of communication; having played together for two and a half years has its advantages. Perez is still a hard-hitting pianist, but he balances this penchant with softer tunes that profile ...
Danilo Perez Trio: Live at the Jazz Showcase
by John Kelman
Watching pianist Danilo Perez's career unfold has been an experience in shared exploration. He's never forgetten his Panamanian heritage, but along with pianists Edward Simon and Luis Perdomo, Perez has reflected a new dimension--a new wave of artists from Latin cultures who incorporate traditional rhythms and melodic ideas into more modern contexts that include complicated meters, ...
Jim Hall: Magic Meeting
by Jerry D'Souza
This is the first time that Jim Hall, Scott Colley, and Lewis Nash have played together, but their Magic Meeting has a sheer magnetism that draws them into an orbit that spins around some compelling musicianship. Time has not effaced the spell that Hall can conjure on the guitar, and he does his magic once again. ...

Jim Hall: Magic Meeting
by John Kelman
Some artists use an onslaught of sound to envelope the listener; others use quiet to draw them in. It's interesting how even in a conventionally noisy club, when a compelling artist plays at a low level the audience seems to naturally quieten down, sitting on the edges of the seats and leaning forward to better hear ...
