Various Artists: The Latin Jazz Side
by C. Michael Bailey
The Italian jazz record label founded by one Sergio Veschi, Red Records , turned 25 years old this past year. For the better part of that time, the label has avoided doing what many larger labels have made a science of?flooding the market with compilations from recent releases. That is until now. The label has mined ...
Little Feat: Highwire Act Live in St. Louis 2003
by C. Michael Bailey
Highwire Act Live in St. Louis 2003 Hot Tomato 2004 Little Feat and the Allman Brothers Band have much in common. Both bands incurred losses of integral personnel (Lowell George in the case of Little Feat and Duane Allman in the case of the Allman Brothers Band). Both bands realized ...
Salvatore Tranchini Quintet: Faces
by C. Michael Bailey
I received a blessing in the mail the other day: three new Red Records releases. The Milan-based independent jazz label has been releasing brands of both American and Italian Jazz for the past quarter of a century. To a disc, all releases have been of the finest and highest quality. Drummer Salvatore Tranchini's new quintet release ...
J.S. Bach - The Complete Orchestral Suites
by C. Michael Bailey
As prolific a composer (and patriarch) as Johann Sebastian Bach was, he managed to compose a precious few instrumental orchestral works. Besides solo instrument concertos, there exist only the six Brandenburg Concertos and the four Orchestral Suites. The fact that these two sets of orchestral compositions are instrumental may be all they have in common. The ...
Hiromi: Brain
by C. Michael Bailey
Japanese pianist Hiromi Uehara detonated on a major label with her debut release Another Mind . That recording was overwhelming in its power, technique, and intelligence. In short, it was like a swift kick in the privates, getting your attention while taking your breath away at the same time. While her new release, Brain , is ...
David Berkman Quartet: Start Here - Finish There
by C. Michael Bailey
Pianist/composer David Berkman goes four deep into the Palmetto catalog with his new quartet release Start Here - Finish There.

On this present recording, Berkman devotes the lion's share ...
The Lonnie Plaxico Group: Live at the Jazz Standard
by C. Michael Bailey
Bassist Lonnie Plaxico is perhaps best known for his associations with Greg Osby and M-Base, and for being the long-time bassist for Cassandra Wilson. He was the leader of several recordings made for the now static Muse label in the '80s and '90s. On January 29, 2003, Plaxico was leading an energetically funky sextet at New ...
Laura Welland: Love is Never Out of Season
by C. Michael Bailey
Every once in a while a vocal jazz offering comes along that makes the standard repertoire make more sense. Most recently, Love is Never Out of Season presents itself as one of these revelatory recordings. The multi-talented Laura Welland takes Thomas Waller's time-worn standard “Honeysuckle Rose," seasons it to the taste of swinging mainstream, and updates ...
William Woods: Cobalt Blue
by C. Michael Bailey
Pianist and composer William Woods is a radiological oncologist by vocation and talented jazz musician by avocation. Cobalt contains eleven smooth jazz tunes composed by him. The album title has a subtle physician's reference, since it refers to a radioactive substance employed in cancer treatment. Regis Branson, who is associated with Alex Bugnon, Howard Johnson, Najee, ...
Henry Butler: Homeland
by C. Michael Bailey
Henry Butler's last recording was a bit of an eclectic affair. The Game has Just Begun, Butler's debut on New Orleans? Basin Street Records, contained a gumbo of Southern music with a cover of “Riders on the Storm" to boot. Butler's new offering, Homeland, is a throwback almost to the Swing Era, judging by the disc?s ...
