Trio of One: Fly at the Jazz Standard
by Eric Benson
FlyJazz StandardNew York, NYApril 10, 2009 Instruments are versatile husks, possessing limited range and a particular timbre, but no set personality of their own.

Bill Evans and Tony Bennett
I'll be honest: I've never cared much for the two duet albums that Tony Bennett and Bill Evans recorded in 1975 and 1976. I've always felt that Bennett's approach was way too operatic and that Evans' playing in response was frustratingly meek. The results have constantly left me wishing producer Helen Keane had played a more ...

Chick & Hiromi: Duet
by Carl L. Hager
Combined with his abilities as a soloist, Chick Corea's uncanny accompanist's instinct for supporting and focusing the spotlight on another player's efforts has produced celebrated duets with everyone from Gary Burton and Herbie Hancock to John McLaughlin and Bela Fleck. With Hiromi Uehara he has done it again. Duet captures the two ...
Lee Konitz: Lee Konitz Meets Alessandro Lanzoni Trio
by Stuart Broomer
This CD is exciting enough to require several titles, beginning with Lee Konitz meets Alessandro Lanzoni Trio, then Poetical Lee, then 81+15=96!, before concluding with the parenthetical (for Bill Evans). But it's the exclamatory equation 81+15=96! that's at the heart of the enthusiasm, declaring the respective ages of altoist Konitz and pianist Lanzoni. There's a celebration ...
Bill Evans at Town Hall
Of pianist Bill Evans' many live albums, At Town Hall ... Vol. 1 has always been among his most delicate and elegant. Evans' playing is taut and graceful, with lovely long improvisational lines and a snappy, fluid attack on the keyboard. The mix of standards and two originals--one was a suite in memory of his' father, ...

An exceptional bassist with the acumen and youthful presence of a Ron Carter or Dave Holland, Charlin has a deep reverence for the art-form--its past and its present--that is undeniable. Dipping back into ...
