Conrad Herwig: Osteology
by C. Andrew Hovan
The trombone in jazz has often taken a backseat to the more extroverted and visceral sounds of the saxophone and trumpet, occupying the position of an ignored stepchild, so to speak. The few trombonists that have attained historical status are almost exclusively from the bop era of jazz, leaving out a healthy number of swing and ...
David Kikoski: The Maze
by C. Andrew Hovan
Although his current claim to fame finds him as a member of Roy Haynes' fresh new band, pianist David Kikoski has been active on the scene since the early 80's and has recorded several times under his own name for the Triloka and Epicure labels.

Just consider the Basie and Ellington bands, not to mention the classic John Coltrane Quartet and several premium ...

All the while, he's been maturing as an artist with a nice spate of Criss Cross dates along the way documenting that development. Grown Folk Bizness is Evans' third release for the label and it ups the ante even further ...
David Kikoski: The Maze
by David Adler
During David Kikoski’s ten or so years as Roy Haynes’s pianist, his unbridled energy and highly advanced harmonic sense gelled with Haynes’s roaring drums to create combustible, killing music. Recently he has graced excellent recordings by Al Foster, Craig Handy, Bob Berg, Ingrid Jensen, Conrad Herwig, the Mingus Big Band, and others. As a leader he ...
