Magnus Hjorth Trio: Old New Borrowed Blue
by Jakob Baekgaard
The legacy of pianist Bill Evans has become so predominant among emerging pianists that it is refreshing to hear someone who shuns the late pianist's lyrical introversion in favor of a more outgoing and playful approach.

Bill Evans: Turn out the Stars
By: Ron Hart Toward the end of his life, pianist Bill Evans' image was the exact opposite of the button-down, bespectacled young square who first burst onto the jazz scene in 1956 as the rising young lion on the jazz circuit who landed into history as the piano player for Miles Davis' 1958 masterwork Kind of ...
Mark Kramer: Jazz Greetings

It's easy to be jaded by the endless production of Christmas and New Year holiday recordings by jazz artists attempting to cash in on the shopping impulses of this time of year.
