Tomoko Omura: Roots
by Ian Patterson
The roots of the title of violinist Tomoko Omura's second CD as leader refer to traditional and popular melodies familiar to several generations of Japanese.

by Jack Bowers
So there is hope after all.

Noah Preminger: Haymaker
by Dave Wayne
Tenor saxophonist Noah Preminger is one of those guys who seemingly appeared out of nowhere, fully-formed, with total command of his instrument--including an admirably rich tone--and lots of great ideas, both compositional and improvisational.
