Wayne Wallace Latin Jazz Quintet: To Hear From There
by Bridget A. Arnwine
Trombonist/composer Wayne Wallace and his music could probably be characterized by any number of clichéd phrases, but why use a cliché when the truth will do.

Brian Carpenter’s Ghost Train Orchestra: Hothouse Stomp
by C. Michael Bailey
One of the beauties of long-lived music genres is if a current one becomes boring and the future looks, well, too futuristic, we can always go backwards, investigating earlier forms we may have not paid attention to earlier.

Michael Feinberg: With Many Hands
