Joe Henderson: Consonance: Live At The Jazz Showcase
by Pierre Giroux
Some live recordings capture a set. Others capture a feeling. Joe Henderson's Consonance: Live At The Jazz Showcase, Resonance Records' newly discovered limited edition 3LP Record Store Day release, followed shortly by a 2CD version, is more than just another archival find. It feels vibrant from the very first notes, reminding us how Henderson could turn ...
Oscar Peterson Trio: The Oscar Peterson Trio at Baker's Keyboard Lounge
by Pierre Giroux
There are live recordings that capture an engagement, and others that seem to revive an entirely vanished room. This newly unearthed Verve Records release from Detroit's Baker's Keyboard Lounge, recorded over five sets in August 1960, clearly falls into the latter category. More than just a historical curiosity, it reveals atmosphere, temperament, and mastery. The Oscar ...
James Newton Quartet: Live in Willisau
by Giuseppe Segala
Ecco una pubblicazione molto opportuna, a favore di un musicista il cui lavoro è assai poco documentato.

That initial encounter with Ayler's music, whether live or on record, can feel ...

Art Pepper: Everything Happens to Me 1959 - Live at the Cellar
by Jack Kenny
The work of great artists is often discussed in terms of distinct periods--Picasso had his Blue Period, Rembrandt his Leiden Period. An album like this invites a similar framework for Art Pepper: the post-Stan Kenton era, the Renaissance Years, the Final Period. The performances captured here belong to a pivotal moment in Pepper's career. ...
