Karrin Allyson: In Blue
by C. Michael Bailey
How Does One follow-up Ballads?... With the Blues Kansas City cum Omaha/San Francisco native Karrin Allyson has been recording since the early 1990s. She produced six well-received recordings for Concord Jazz before she reached the pot-of-gold with 2001's Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane.

Karrin Allyson: In Blue
by Jim Santella
Karrin Allyson handles every style of singing so well; it's no wonder she's at home with the blues. A crystal clear artist with a unique vocal timbre, she's always been right on the button with respect to her goals. This, Allyson's eighth album in ten years, comes as yet another reminder of her consistency. She scat ...
Susannah McCorkle: Ballad Essentials
by Dave Nathan
Susannah McCorkle is the latest entry in Concord Jazz's Ballad Essentials series, and certainly is one of the most exceptional entries. Few singers of our generation or any had a way with a set of lyrics as McCorkle. She has the ability to brighten and ventilate even the most tired of tunes. Fortunately her taste in ...
Wild Bill Moore: Bottom Groove
by C. Andrew Hovan
In all honesty, the tile track of this disc, “Heavy Soul,” really says it all.

His high note squawks ...

by Dave Nathan
There is a small, select group of contemporary jazz musicians who when they release a new album, the question is not whether it's going to be good but rather, “how good". Guitarist Howard Alden falls four square into this community of consummate jazz artists and his position in the group is further solidified by his latest ...
Caribbean Jazz Project: The Gathering
by Jim Santella
Dave Valentine and Dave Samuels provide a pleasant Caribbean mood. With flute and marimba out front, the band takes on a natural appearance. Their performance remains as informal as a jazz party on the beach. Samuels' “Rendezvous" begins the session with a guest appearance by Paquito D'Rivera. Recall that the alto saxophonist helped found Caribbean Jazz ...
Tania Maria: Tania Maria Live At the Blue Note
by AAJ Staff
If Tania Maria Live At The Blue Note is the first Tania Maria album you hear I quarantee that less than eight bars into it you'll be wondering what took you so long. You will also discover that Tania Maria is a unique, wonderfully alive, mega talent who cannot really be put in any single jazz ...
Gary Burton/Makoto Ozone: Virtuosi
by Craig Jolley
Vibraphonist Gary Burton does not come from a conservatory background but with his wide range of musical interests it is not surprising he would finally choose to put his stamp on some compositions from the European classical tradition. Actually, on one of his first records he arranged and composed twelve “semi-classical” pieces for the George Shearing ...
