PSYCHAUDIO: Connect
by Geno Thackara
Is the “psych" in Psychaudio meant to imply psychedelia or something more scary like psychosis, you ask? The answer turns out to be bit--only a bit--of both. The New York City quintet doesn't go completely off the rails on their debut release, nor do they dive completely into trippy headspace. The lineup is that of a ...

Nate Birkey: Rome
by Victor L. Schermer
With this listenable and relaxed album, trumpeter Nate Birkey joins with four excellent musicians he hooked up with while playing in Italy to deliver a set of mostly ballads in his signature style with introspective improvising, empathic warmth, and minimal vibrato.

Bill Anschell: Curiosity and Invention
by Paul Rauch
Bill Anschell strikes me as a man with boundless curiosity. You perceive this in conversation, in his sense of humor, the patient manner in which he listens on and off the bandstand. You sense it in his inventive compositions, the rhythmic complexity, and the musical conception that lyrically imprints an authentic sense of melody. His work ...
Gary Peacock: Tangents
by Mike Jurkovic
Throughout his storied career, bassist/composer Gary Peacock has gone a long way to make the bass an emotive and compelling solo instrument. Yet, when one looks back on--or better yet--listens back to the myriad of great recordings he has given us both as a sideman and leader, it is his emphatic, soul-intuitive, work within the piano ...

We Four at Dazzle
by Geoff Anderson
We Four Dazzle Denver, CO October 21, 2017 The majority of Twentieth Century jazz was represented on stage at Dazzle Saturday night. Either the players were there, in person, or they were merely one degree of separation from the key action and the dominant personalities. History lessons can be nice, but ...
