Cioglia no favors, because it lays the weighty burden of expectation upon him and his group of young musicians. But no other words say precisely this: Contos showcases an acoustic jazz ensemble that so deftly features each individual voice, while naturally integrating each ...

Burgstaller Martignon 4: Mozart's Blues Dreams & Other Crossover Fantasies
by Dan McClenaghan
When the name Mozart is part of the title of a jazz disc, combined with the word blues, the safe bet is that it's a crossover listening experience at hand.

Joe Locke / Frank Kimbrough: Verrazano Moon
by John Kelman
With the now 37 year-old ongoing partnership of Chick Corea and Gary Burton, it might appear that the gold standard for piano/vibraphone duets has been set.

Vibraphone Icon Gary Burton Interviewed at AAJ...And More!
Since emerging in the 1960s, Gary Burton has quickly become one of the primary litmus tests for four-mallet vibraphonists in jazz.
