Avery Sharpe: Running Man
by Bruce Lindsay
Avery Sharpe has an extensive history as a bandleader, a composer and a first-call bassist with musicians such as Yusef Lateef, and Pat Metheny. He was also McCoy Tyner's bassist for almost 20 years. No surprise, then, that Running Man is a rhythmically strong album of straight-ahead jazz tunes. The bassist's compositions move ...
Marius Neset Golden Xplosion: Golden Xplosion
by Bruce Lindsay
The claim on the postcard that accompanies saxophonist Marius Neset's second CD is straightforward: “This album will simply blow you away!" A spot of marketing hubris, perhaps, but there are plenty of moments when Golden Xplosion matches this bold statement. Neset is a member of two of leading composer and musician Django Bates' ...
Cinzia Spata: Into The Moment
by Bruce Lindsay
Although Italian singer/lyricist Cinzia Spata has been singing professionally for over 20 years, her discography is pretty sparse. Into The moment is only her third album, and appears six years after 93 03 (Azzurramusic, 2005). The wait's been worth it: the album is a stylish mix of American Songbook classics and lesser-known tunes from some of ...
Jared Gold: All Wrapped Up
by Bruce Lindsay
Jared Gold's fourth album as leader, All Wrapped Up, finds fresh faces joining the organist as he releases his first recording without a guitarist. This is also Gold's first all-originals album--although he shares the writing credits with his band mates, who each contribute a tune. The new lineup and new tunes ensure that this album, and ...
Julian Siegel Quartet: Urban Theme Park
by Bruce Lindsay
The Julian Siegel Quartet epitomizes some of the finest elements of jazz: creativity, virtuosity, collaboration, invention and (the often neglected) fun. As a result, Urban Theme Park, the band's second album, is a positive feast of music. Broadly speaking, this is probably best described as post-bop, but no single definition can encapsulate the breadth of vision ...
Eliane Amherd: Now And From Now On
by Bruce Lindsay
Eliane Amherd creates bright and cheery, easy to listen to; jazz music that's a perfect soundtrack to sunny summer days. She also writes and performs material with a harder edge, darker and raunchier. She's blessed with a strong voice that's capable of intimate romance and bluesy hollers, and she is a fine guitarist, with touches of ...
Seamus Blake Quintet: Live At Smalls
by Bruce Lindsay
Recorded at the Greenwich Village club on August 31st and September 1st 2009, Live At Smalls showcases the inventive sound of English-born, Canadian-raised and New York-based Seamus Blake. The tenor saxophonist's career to date includes membership in the Mingus Big Band, BANN and the Victor Lewis Quintet, as well as his own combos. Live At Smalls ...
Lars Dietrich: Stand Alone
by Bruce Lindsay
Genuine solo albums are hard to come by. For far too many musicians, a solo album is simply one where none of the collaborators get their names on the front cover. The real thing can have many benefits for the soloist--no other musicians to pay, no awkward clashes of egos, no breaking up over musical differences. ...
Kyle Eastwood: Songs From The Chateau
by Bruce Lindsay
Kyle Eastwood's career encompasses the writing of film soundtracks, as well as the life of a jazz composer, bandleader and bassist. On those seemingly rare occasions when he isn't working, Eastwood spends much of his time in France. Songs From The Chateau is his fifth album since 1998's debut, From There To Here (Sony), and his ...
Ezra Weiss: The Shirley Horn Suite
by Bruce Lindsay
Pianist Ezra Weiss' love of Shirley Horn's music began in his youth, coming to fruition on lovingly crafted The Shirley Horn Suite, his tribute to the singer and pianist who died in 2005. A mix of originals and standards, his fifth album as leader is a sophisticated work, with some fresh compositions and terrific performances.
