Andy Sheppard / Michel Benita / Sebastian Rochford: Trio Libero
by John Kelman
Sometimes unexpected connections yield the most wonderful results. Saxophonist Andy Sheppard, bassist Michel Benita and drummer Sebastian Rochford all have more than enough cred to suggest capability in any context, but none of their individual pursuits could presage a collaboration like Trio Libero, quite possibly the finest saxophone trio recordings of the new millennium, and one ...
Sandy Evans: When the Sky Cries Rainbows
by Ian Patterson

by John Kelman
Turning 70 and being awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Fellowship would be enough to make 2012 a special year for Jack DeJohnette, but Sound Travels transcends mere celebration of the veteran drummer/pianist/bandleader's broad swath of accomplishments since emerging, in the mid-1960s, with saxophonist Charles Lloyd's massively successful quartet. His ...

by Kevin Davis
Miles Davis Quintet Live in Europe 1967: The Bootleg Series Volume 1 Legacy Recordings 2011 The most--perhaps only--frustrating thing about this first installment in what trumpeter Miles Davis completists can only hope ends up being an exhaustive series of archival releases, is the 44 years it took Columbia/Legacy to release ...
