Lynne Arriale: Being Human
by Doug Collette
It is worth (re)stating what a balm to the soul is good jazz music. Still, on her seventeenth album as a leader, pianist/composer Lynne Arriale expounds upon that verity with bassist Alon Near and drummer Lukasz Zyta, all the while refraining from overstatement. In so doing, Arriale and company extend the conscious decision to ...
Lynne Arriale: Being Human
by Mike Jurkovic
In need of some serious uplift? Try Being Human, a sure high water mark for pianist/composer Lynne Arriale.

Such an impression is nonetheless deceptive, as is the reappearance of names like the ...

It pays a captivating homage to influential bassist Sam Jones by weaving a sonic tapestry which transcends the boundaries of conventional jazz.

Kaze: Unwritten
by Doug Collette
Improvised music is an acquired taste, to be sure. But for those who dote on the spontaneous, the liberating sensation that arises from interplay in the moment is nothing less than addictive. In that regard, then, Kaze's fittingly titled Unwritten, a wholly spontaneous piece of work, holds a bounty of fascination. Presenting a formidable ...
