by Dave Nathan
This is the 3rd album for former Lionel Hampton Big Band lead trumpet Bryon Stripling for the Nagel Heyer label.

The blues inflected arrangement of ...
Jay Graydon: BeBop
by Dave Nathan
Jay Graydon has been in show biz since he was two when he debuted on his father's KDAY TV show. The first track is a snippet from one of those shows where the young Graydon identifies bop as his favorite music. Since then he has performed and composed for entertainers from a wide variety of genre ...
Enrico Pieranunzi Quartet: Alone Together
by Dave Nathan
This group is further evidence that jazz is a universal music knowing neither language nor geographic boundary.

Gary LeMel: Lost in Your Arms

Warner movie industry executive Gary LeMel, emboldened by the success of his previous albums, has come out with his third effort for Atlantic Records.

Ron Kobayashi Trio: No Preservatives
by Dave Nathan
It's a pleasure to hear an album that is recorded as it was played. With just a minor dubbing adjustment on one track, what you're hearing on the latest album from the Ron Kobayashi Trio is precisely what they played in the studio. There's no “creative" mixing which, in my view, is akin to revising history ...
Michael Martin: Odyssey
by Dave Nathan
P>Michael Martin resembles a troubadour in that these wandering (a permanent odyssey, perhaps) minstrels of yore were often the major source of news. Martin's play list on this album covers a wide swatch of melodies that recount tales covering many things and using a number of vocal techniques to do so. Most tunes are from the ...

Ben Black: Remembered Faces/Private Places
by Dave Nathan
Seattle-based cabaret singer Ben Black's second album deals with a set of tunes, most unfamiliar, that deliver a set of messages about being kinder to each other both as individuals and to society as a whole. The play list has an international flavor with songs from Armenia, Ireland, Japan and Latin America as well as the ...

A veteran of the Borscht Belt, hotel dining and ball rooms, Bar Mitzvahs and other assorted social events, Liz Diamond has finally made it to the recording studio after many years in the business.
