Carol Morgan: Retroactive
by C. Michael Bailey

Michael Dease: Coming Home
by C. Michael Bailey
Trombonist Michael Dease's Coming Home is the evolutionary culmination of all of the small group work of which he has been a part.

Carol Morgan: Blue Glass Music
by Hrayr Attarian
Trumpeter Carol Morgan is an improviser par excellence, having literally written the book on it, and her style has matured fast over the course of five years and four albums.

Carol Morgan: Blue Glass Music
by C. Michael Bailey
Trumpeter Carol Morgan's Blue Bamboo debut, Opening (2010) was received uniformly, with accolades from all quarters. The Texas-native cum Manhattan-ite exploded out of Julliard following the tutelage of trumpeter Ingrid Jensen, and seemed to be everywhere at once. Morgan has been a constant in the DIVA Jazz Orchestra (with Sharel Cassity), and fronting her quintet, Carol ...
