Jason Lindner: Premonition
by AAJ Staff
It seems that Smalls in New York City is becoming one of the primary jazz incubators of the millennium, in the same manner but maybe not in the same degree as Minton's or Monroe's in the 1940's. Many of the newer, and more experimental, musicians are finally attaining recognition for the work that they debuted at ...
Susannah McCorkle: Hearts & Minds
by Mathew Bahl
Listening to Hearts & Minds, it occurred to me that Susannah McCorkle very well might inherit the mantle of Champion of the Great American Songbook currently worn by Tony Bennett. Like Mr. Bennett, Ms. McCorkle believes that the standard repertoire is a living, breathing and, most importantly, ever expanding body of music that has something profound ...

Joey DeFrancesco: Incredible!
by Jim Santella
He’s not yet 30, but Joey DeFrancesco earned his veteran stripes a long time ago. His B-3 performance on this latest Incredible! album ranges from hot and heavy to cool and lyrical. The organist drives Dizzy Gillespie’s “The Champ" and Charlie Parker’s favored “Indiana" into the streets with exciting solos from his working band: Paul Bollenback ...

It was bound to happen. Trombonist Steve Davis of Chick Corea's group Origin is releasing his first CD on Chick Corea's label, Stretch. Other Origin artists, past and present, who have signed to the label include Tim Garland, Steve Wilson and Avishai Cohen.A consummate professional, Davis has been building a resume, and his own ...
Jason Lindner: Premonition
by C. Andrew Hovan
When the Verve Music Group swallowed up a number of labels a few years ago the stable of performers at Impulse was cut drastically, particularly in the area of young up-and-coming talents. Premonition was one of the casualties of the amalgamation. As a follow-up to the great curiosity pianist/composer Jason Lindner had fostered via a few ...
Steve Wilson: Passages
by C. Andrew Hovan
Among some talented peers that would have to include Kenny Garrett and Jon Gordon, Steve Wilson is arguably one of the best alto saxophonists on the scene today. But it goes beyond that, because he has also established a unique approach to the soprano saxophone as well as the flute. Following his four decidedly mainstream affairs ...
Chick Corea: Originals & Standards
by Jim Santella
Recorded in November 1999, Chick Corea’s 2-CD solo piano set is a “best of" compilation, selected by the artist, from 10 concerts he performed in Europe and Japan on a whirlwind tour. Packaged separately, the two discs represent what Corea normally achieves in concert: one platter contains the pianist's originals, while the other contains standards by ...
Bob Berg, Randy Brecker, Dennis Chambers, Joey DeFrancesco: The JazzTimes
by Jim Santella
When a tune has a catchy sound to it, the melody lingers on. Paul Bollenback, Randy Brecker, Joey DeFrancesco and Bob Berg each contribute memorable compositions to this album; compositions that catch your ear and leave you happy to hear them again. Berg placed his tune “Friday Night at the Cadillac Club" on two previous albums ...
Chick Corea: Solo Piano Standards/Originals
by Mark Corroto
Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, and Chick Corea’s piano careers will be forever intertwined. Born within five years of each other, each apprenticed with Miles Davis, and interestingly enough each took to the electric keyboards under Miles. The Miles Davis influence pushed each into experimentation, innovation, and to my mind redemption at the keyboards. Jarrett’s experimental Impulse! ...
