Graham Dechter: Takin' It There
by Dan Bilawsky
A quartet is usually a self-contained collection of four, but sometimes these groupings serve as part of a greater whole; guitarist Graham Dechter's foursome does both.

Kat Parra: Las Aventuras de Pasion!
by Dan Bilawsky
Kat Parra's voice may be the ultimate manifestation of the entire Latin music diaspora.

Engaging the totality of the entire Latin spectrum is no easy feat, but she seems willing ...
Gato Libre: Forever
by Dan McClenaghan
The team of pianist Satoko Fujii and trumpeter Natsuki Tamura produces a lot of music. More often than not, it's Fujii in the leader's chair, in one of her numerous big bands, quartets, trios or in duo outings with Tamura. By normal standards--that is, not in comparison with Fujii--Tamura's output as a leader could be considered ...
