Beloved of The Sky
by C. Andrew Hovan
Back in the late '80s, the life cycle of the vinyl record seemed to have run its course.

Fast forward to today's marketplace and it's ironic to see new releases as available in both CD ...
Jen Shyu: Song of the Silver Geese

Viene spesso definita una vocalist sperimentale Jen Shyu, ma questo disco conferma che è molto di più.

Renee Rosnes: Beloved of The Sky
by Mike Jurkovic
For those not familiar with the Tyner-esque bop flourish and Horace Silver-like subtlety of Canadian pianist/composer Renee Rosnes, then the rollicking Beloved of the Sky may be the disc to begin the discovery. Recorded live at NY's Smoke club, the recording features the free-swinging quintet of Rosnes, saxophonist Chris Potter (who is especially frisky and acrobatic ...
The Rarest of Ivories: Fred Hersch, Joey Alexander, Eliane Elias and Renee Rosnes
