Read "Bird Songs" reviewed by Andrew J. Sammut

by Andrew J. Sammut
January 21, 2011

Sax giant Joe Lovano has blown next to a bevy of jazz greats, and been applauded as soloist and leader throughout his nearly 40-year career.

Bill Evans His Piano and Orchestra Play Theme from the V.I.P.S and Other Great Songs

Will Vinson: Stockholm Syndrome

Read "Stockholm Syndrome" reviewed by David Lighton

by David Lighton
January 6, 2011

Saxophonist Will Vinson performs the oft-attempted but rarely accomplished feat of producing fresh and original music with an open affection for tradition. He carefully walks the tightrope, all the while risking falling--on one side into shallow mimicry, and on the other into art music.
