The New Mellow Edwards: Big Choantza
by Troy Collins
The New Mellow Edwards, an eclectic ensemble signed to artist-run, Brooklyn-based Skirl Records, is led by trombonist Curtis Hasslebring, who draws upon a variety of influences for his unorthodox jazz compositions, including neo-classical formalism, elastic funk and tuneful indie rock.

John Hollenbeck: Rainbow Jimmies
by Mark Corroto
When encountering drummer John Hollenbeck in a traditional jazz setting, there's usually the distinct feeling that he is something other than a jazz drummer. Where some drummers muscle their way through a set, he prefers to finesse the music, accenting the songs in always new and creative ways. Maybe it is his past experience in other ...

Chris Speed / Chris Cheek / Stephane Furic Leibovici: Jugendstil
by Jerry D'Souza
Double-bassist Stephane Furic Leibovici avers that he likes to be gentle with sounds and to listen to the inside of them. He is true to this philosophy on Jugendstil, where he finds solace in the quiet and the meditative; getting inspiration from classical and chamber music and using them to the full in his writing.
Chris Speed / Chris Cheek / Stephane Furic Leibovici: Jugendstil
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Everything about this extraordinary album, Jugendstil, is deliberate and attains its own level of perfection. To begin with, there is its name: The word Jugendstil (German for “youth style," akin to the French “art nouveau" movement of the late nineteenth century) is so apt, considering that it defines the music contained in this record. For instance ...
John Hollenbeck: A Blessing
by AAJ Italy Staff
L'aspetto di A Blessing che più colpisce al primo ascolto è il lungo snodarsi delle linee melodiche, lontano dalla stringatezza percussiva tipica del jazz per big band. I suoi temi avvolgono ipnotici, quasi minimalisti, costruiti su cellule che sviluppano lente e inesorabili, affidate a insiemi strumentali tipici della scrittura di Gil Evans e altri arrangiatori bianchi ...
