Denny Zeitlin: Precipice: Solo Piano Concert
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The singular mission of Denny Zeitlin continues with Precipice, the recorded document of a concert in January, 2008 at Ralston Hall, Santa Barbara, California.

Greg Reitan: Antibes
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Greg Reitan began the year with Some Other Time (Sunnyside, 2009), a spectacularly graceful record. He ends the year with another that equals--if not surpasses--the maturity of that album.
