Peter Scharli Trio featuring Ithamara Koorax: O Grande Amor
by Chris M. Slawecki
Their pairing may seem like an odd mix: Ithamara Koorax, born in steamy Rio de Janiero and expert voice for all the lusty and romantic musical treasures of Brazil, teaming with trumpeter Peter Schärli from Switzerland, where modern jazz often assumes a more astringent and ascetic (and often quite electronic) tone. Pianist Hans-Peter Pfammatter and bassist ...
Carolyn Nelson: Come a Little Closer
by Chris M. Slawecki
Carolyn Nelson has one of those voices that might lead you to think you've heard her sing before. And you might have: although Come A Little Closer is her solo debut, Nelson has performed throughout the US and Canada plus two tours of Spain (she can sing in five languages), has appeared on the daytime TV ...

JJ Grey & Mofro: Georgia Warhorse
by Chris M. Slawecki
JJ Grey's eleven new tunes for Georgia Warhorse, named for the notoriously resilient Southern lubber grasshopper, reflect and broadcast his love for the rustic Florida backwoods where Grey and his family have lived for generations. Grey not only wrote all the tunes but played just about every instrument, except for the slide guitar that Derek Trucks ...
Historic "Buddy & The Juniors" Available at Hip-O Select, Retails June 28
In 1969, guitarist Buddy Guy got together with his old Chicago blues buddy Junior Wells, added in jazz pianist Junior Mance, and cut a loose, “unplugged" session for Blue Thumb Records that became the now-legendary album Buddy And The Juniors. Now, on the occasion of Buddy Guy's 75th birthday, the album makes its first-ever domestic CD ...
De La Buena: La Tortuga
by Chris M. Slawecki
When you consider what would be the animal kingdom's equivalent of hot, lusty Latin jazz, the first animal you think of is most likely not the turtle. At least not until you hear this first studio album by De La Buena, La Tortuga (the turtle). Milwaukee Wisconsin's reigning masters of Latin and Afro-Cuban ...
Club d'Elf: Electric Moroccoland / So Below
by Chris M. Slawecki
Even in our far-reaching and cluttered modern musical culture, it seems safe to suggest that there is no other band quite like Club d'Elf, a floating riverboat gamble with a fluid cast of contributors--keyboardist John Medeski, guitarists Reeves Gabrels and Duke Levin, Mat Maneri on electric viola, turntablist Mister Rourke, and many others among them--steered by ...
Mike Montrey Band Releases Live Studio Album "Weaving The Basket"
A stifling, infectious infirmity is running rampant under pop culture's slate gray clouds. A society—and modern music industry—that pretends to nurture the creative spirit actually forces an ideal: that to produce products and sell the results is the only acceptable form of creative exchange. For its upcoming double album, Mike Montrey Band (The MMB) reach back ...
Natacha Atlas: Mounqaliba
by Chris M. Slawecki
Vocalist Natacha Atlas seems to embody the modern musical millennia: She was born in Brussels and raised in one of its Moroccan suburbs; her compositions and singing reach into and crisscross storied European and Arabic musical traditions. Primarily co-written and performed with multi-instrumentalist Samy Bishai along with pianist Zoe Rahman, a chamber orchestra and 20-piece Turkish ...
