The Kelly Brand Nextet: Sister Luna
by Jack Bowers
Pianist Kelly Brand’s second album is as tastefully cooked as her first ( A Dream in a Stone ), with crisp blowing by front–liners Art Davis and Lou Stockwell and sure–handed support from Brand, bassist / husband Kelly Sill and drummers Tim Davis or Eric Montzka. A “nextet,” by the way, can be either a trio ...

Chicago Metropolitan Jazz Orch.: Labor of Love

It also has ...
