Rin Seo: City Suite
by Angelo Leonardi
Il nome di Rin Seo si aggiunge al numero delle talentose musiciste di origine asiatica che nell'ultimo ventennio hanno mostrato d'aver creativamente assimilato l'idioma musicale afro-americano. Tra esse non mancano le orchestratrici che ottengono risultati eccellenti anche grazie alla solida preparazione negli studi classici. Nata in Corea 36 anni fa, Rin Seo s'è laureata in ...
Virginia MacDonald: In Search Of...
by Jack Bowers
Perhaps one reason that Virginia MacDonald is so hard to track down is that she is a woman who plays jazz clarinet. Do you know of any others? Here are at least two, both of whom are alive and active: New Orleans' Doreen Ketchens and Israeli-American Anat Cohen. Excellent players but several long strides from becoming ...
Chris Hazelton: In Rotation
by Jack Bowers
Here is a quartet with an interesting makeup: leader Chris Hazelton on Hammond B3 organ backed by saxophone, vibraphone and drums. It is a sizable departure from the norm, one that can separate an album from the herd and lend it a bracing and singular voice or, if not managed properly, lead to series of relatively ...
Sharon Minemoto: Goodbye, Strawberry Hill
by Jack Bowers
The years 1942 through 1945 embody a dark chapter in American and Canadian history--not only in terms of the grievous losses of life and treasure during World War II but also for the abandonment of human rights and the cruel and indefensible treatment of many thousands of their fellow citizens, more specifically those of Japanese descent. ...
Daphne Roubini and Black Gardenia: Whiskey Scented Kisses
by Pierre Giroux
Whiskey Scented Kisses begins without a grand entrance, just a quiet claim staked in the opening. Vocalist Daphne Roubini does not dwell on nostalgia so much as settle into it, as if the language of the '40s and '50s were simply how she thinks out loud. Around her, the band Black Gardenia moves with unspoken ease. ...
Brian Dickinson & the Penderecki String Quartet: October Songs
by Jack Bowers
Contemporary jazz meets classical chamber music (with rather mixed results) on October Songs, the 2026 recording by Canadian pianist and composer Brian Dickinson and his trio who share center stage with the Ontario-based Penderecki String Quartet. There are at least two ways to appraise this meticulously planned and well-meaning partnership. On the one hand, ...
Alexander Claffy: Alive in Philadelphia, Vol. 1 (At Chris’ Jazz Cafe)
by Jack Bowers
Bassist Alexander Claffy, a pillar on the New York City jazz scene since 2011, returned “home" in March 2025 to record Alive in Philadelphia Vol. 1 for an enthusiastic audience at Chris' Jazz Club, on whose stage he had performed since he was a teenager in the City of Brotherly Live. He did not ...
Bria Skonberg: Brass
by Jack Bowers
Canadian-born and New York-based trumpeter, vocalist and composer Bria Skonberg focuses almost exclusively on the horn on her seventh recording, the aptly named Brass. Even though Skonberg may be a splendid singer, she plays trumpet so extremely well it's a pretty sure bet that no one but the most diehard lovers of vocal jazz may miss ...
Neal Miner: Invisibility
by Jack Bowers
Here is a jazz trio with a twist: instead of the usual piano, bass and drums--or guitar, bass and drums--Neal Miner's threesome on Invisibility consists of tenor saxophone, bass and drums. While bassist Miner is the nominal leader, the New York City-based trio is a true co-op in which Miner, drummer Jason Tiemann and saxophonist Chris ...
Bernie Senensky: Duos
by Pierre Giroux
Duos by Bernie Senensky is a record built on patience, craftsmanship, and the quiet confidence of musicians working together. It is a carefully arranged and well-executed set that highlights one of Canada's most respected pianists performing in a duo, accompanied only by a saxophone voice from a select group of notable North American saxophonists, where any ...
