The return of the Organ-Guitar-Drums Trio... To Date, Columbus, Ohio organist Tony Monaco has had three well received releases on Summit records: Burnin’ Grooves ; Master Chops T , and Intimately Live at the 5:01.

Philly Joe Jones: Drum Songs
by C. Michael Bailey
That Fire... Did Philly Joe Jones do anything after leaving the first great Miles Davis Quintet? Jones left shortly before Davis recorded Kind of Blue in 1959.

Uri Caine: Solitaire
by C. Michael Bailey
The Whole History of Jazz Piano Released as one-third of a trio of recordings hitting the streets at the same time, Solitaire blows a gale-force wind through Western instrumental music. Equal parts Eric Satie, Marice Ravel, Louie Moreau Gottschalk, Fats Waller, and Cecil Taylor, Solitaire expresses itself as Uri Caine's busy subconscious. This is a recording ...
Uri Caine: Rio
by C. Michael Bailey
Brazilian Vignettes Rio shares much in common with two previous Caine recordings, The Sidewalks of New York and Wagner e Venezia .

It ...
Uri Caine: Bedrock

Marcus Printup: The New Boogaloo
by C. Michael Bailey
Sweet, Intelligent tone in the new Lou Donaldson... The work “Boogaloo" makes me think of the Lou Donaldson soul jazz of the 1960s on Blue Note. Marcus Printup resurrects this term for his debut recording for the Nagel Heyer label and gives it a bit of a dusting off and updating. The New Boogaloo is not ...
