Ralph Peterson: The Art of War
by C. Andrew Hovan
Just on the verge of marking his 40th year on the planet, drummer Ralph Peterson is not old enough to be considered an elder statesmen, but certainly has moved passed the period usually defined with being a young lion. He’s had his ups and downs and seems to be currently on a new path towards documenting ...
Clarence Penn: Play Penn
by Mark F. Turner
Change is a necessary factor in the musical development of jazz musicians and listeners. It's the fuel for the creative process that expands the boundaries for this thing we call jazz music. Clarence Penn's 1997 debut recording Penn's Landing, won him critical acclaim in many jazz circles. The essence of that recording highlighted an immensely talented ...
Clarence Penn Quintet: Play-Penn
by David A. Orthmann
Listening to a band rummage through a number of modern jazz styles during the course of a set is now closer to a rule than an exception. Shunning a single easily recognizable paradigm based on the music’s glorified past, many musicians embrace the vagaries of a constantly shifting artistic landscape. The best of them (quite a ...

John Campbell: Workin' Out
by C. Andrew Hovan
Like so many guys out there who are doing their thing without much fanfare or public recognition, forty-five year old pianist John Campbell has been active on the jazz scene long enough to be called a veteran. A native of the Chicago area, Campbell gained valuable mainstream experience through past gigs with Clark Terry and the ...
Joe Magnarelli: Mr. Mags
by C. Andrew Hovan
At a time when many contemporary jazz trumpeters seem to be pushing to the extremes (i.e. Russell Gunn’s rap/world beat groove or Dave Douglas’ avant stance), a player like Joe Magnarelli might seem more like a throw back to the past. A great reader and reliable sideman, Magnarelli can run down the bebop or blow pretty, ...
Tim Ries Septet: Alternate Side
by Jim Santella
Dramatic modern mainstream jazz contains curious harmonic concepts and rhythmic variety. Leading with tenor and soprano saxophones, Tim Ries provides six original pieces and two standards, from which his ensemble extracts the essential elements. A leading section member with the bands of Maynard Ferguson and Maria Schneider, Ries holds a master's degree in performance and composition ...
