Craig Hartley: Books On Tape, Vol. 1
by Dan Bilawsky
The work of any artist is typically the summation of their life experiences to a certain point, but many aren't aware of how or when these experiences seep(ed) into their art; pianist Craig Hartley just happens to have great awareness and a more confessional approach than most, as he lets specific occurrences, influences, events and individuals ...
Florian Ross: Front Room Songs
by Dan Bilawsky
The use of overdubs isn't really the norm on jazz recordings, but it is an accepted practice. Very often it can simply involve a horn player adding a line here or there, providing some finishing touches to music that was mostly-done already, but every now and then it goes well beyond that point. Piano legend Bill ...
Tom Goehring: A Reflected Journey
by Dan Bilawsky
A Reflected Journey is a quintet date, but it doesn't have a quintet date feel about it. The man of the hour--trumpeter Tom Goehring--doubles on flugelhorn, and his front line partner, the ever engaging and well-rounded Roger Rosenberg, covers baritone saxophone, soprano saxophone and bass clarinet. With all of those horns in the picture, and a ...
Michael Gallant Trio: Completely
by Dan Bilawsky
For many an ivory-tickler, the piano trio is the perfect format for supper club-appropriate sashays through standards, but Michael Gallant doesn't think that way; he'd rather put a little power, pizzazz and punch into the piano trio, using it as a springboard to launch his oft-excitable tunes. Gallant is a talented multi-tasker who ...
Nicky Schrire: Space And Time
by Dan Bilawsky
The art of singing goes well beyond the act of singing. To simply sing, one need only open the mouth and let the music come forth, but that's the act. The art involves pitch perfect delivery, clear and crisp diction, control, creativity, flexibility, and the ability to completely inhabit, own, and sell a song; in short, ...
Matthias Bublath: Oceans
by Dan Bilawsky
Pianist Matthias Bublath works at the crossroads where consistency and diversity meet; the consistency comes with his sound, vision and personnel choices while the diversity connects to the type(s) of music he presents. For Oceans, the German-born, New York-based pianist reconvened the same quintet that birthed his prior album, the highly enjoyable Harvest ...
Jon Davis: One Up Front
by Dan Bilawsky
It's tempting to say that pianist Jon Davis has been hiding in plain sight for the past few decades, but he hasn't really been hiding at all. He's actually been playing all over the place with a lot of top-tier musicians; he just doesn't put himself up front very often. Davis, who's worked with saxophonist Stan ...
Alex Sipiagin: From Reality And Back
by Dan Bilawsky
From Reality And Back comes off as notable before a note of music ever reaches the ears. In fact, this album presents itself as a bit of a jazz PR dream: bassist Dave Holland makes a rare sideman appearance here, guitarist Pat Metheny contributed an original written strictly for this project ("Son, Uvedeny Posle"), and the ...
Ricardo Silveira & Roberto Taufic: Atlanticos
by Dan Bilawsky
What do you get when two top-flight studio guitarists grab their acoustic axes and get together to bask in the glow of Brazilian music? The answer is the resplendent Atlanticos. Ricardo Silveira is a Brazilian-born-and-based, Berklee-trained guitarist who's recorded hundreds of sessions, backing everybody from flautist Herbie Mann to Brazilian icons like Gilberto ...
Rob Hart Trio: 3000 Realms Of 10 Words
by Dan Bilawsky
Drummer/percussionist Rob Hart may be based in the San Francisco Bay Area, but his music knows no one particular home. On 3000 Realms Of 10 Worlds, Hart works from a world-wise vantage point, liberally utilizing, tweaking, and mixing the stylistic vocabulary and components endemic to various locales. In this respect, he creates something of a broad-minded ...
