Thomson Kneeland: Mazurka For A Modern Man
by Bruce Lindsay
Bassist Thomson Kneeland leads an impressive array of musicians on Mazurka For A Modern Man.

Kneeland's liner notes make it clear that this album is dedicated ...
Thomson Kneeland: Mazurka for the Modern Man
by Woodrow Wilkins
It is unfortunate when a person dies prematurely, and even more so when the death is by suicide. It makes for a bittersweet experience when listening to Mazurka for a Modern Man, by acoustic bassist Thomson Kneeland. Drummer Take Toriyama had been working with Kneeland almost weekly for ten years. He ended his life two weeks ...
Thomson Kneeland: Mazurka For A Modern Man
by Dan Bilawsky
It wouldn't be unusual to think that the mastermind behind Mazurka For A Modern Man played trumpet or guitar. While bassist Thomson Kneeland wrote eight of these compositions, which touch on everything from Balkan folk music and klezmer, to chamber music and indie rock, he often lurks in the background while guitarist Nate Radley and trumpeter ...

by Jack Bowers
Glenn Cashman And the Southland Big Band! Primrose Lane Music 2009 Even though Glenn Cashman's superlative Southland Big Band makes its home (technically) south of the Mason-Dixon Line, it is more than a few miles removed from cotton fields, mint juleps and the Mississippi River--to be more precise, in the ...

David Smith Quintet: Circumstance
by AAJ Italy Staff
È questo un ottimo disco, che ben rappresenta la brillante cifra espressiva di David Smith, emergente trombettista della scena jazz canadese. Il suo è un fraseggio spezzato e frastagliato al servizio di una sonorità calda e rotonda. Con un solismo magnificamente in equilibrio tra tradizione e contemporaneità, oscillante tra la nervosa spigolosità del linguaggio post-boppistico e ...
