Jean-Paul Bourelly: Trance Atlantic (Boom Bop II)
by Greg Martino
Jean-Paul Bourelly’s new CD, Trance Atlantic (Boom Bop II), extends and solidifies the heavy funk and electronic concept of the excellent 1999 release Boom Bop. Trance Atlantic ’s central musical idea involves a strong groove that often overlays the ostensible frontline of lead guitar, cornet, sax, or trombone. The music partakes of the current vocabulary of ...
The Bob Brookmeyer New Art Orchestra: Waltzing with Zoe
by Jack Bowers

by C. Michael Bailey
His mother called him Bill...the arranger Dayton, Ohio-native William Thomas Strayhorn tooled around forever in the shadow of Duke Ellington. But is that so bad? Truly one of the greatest collaborations in jazz, the Strayhorn/Ellington alliance produced a mountain of standards for the jazz repertoire. Strayhorn alone was credited with composing Ellington's theme ("Take the ...
