Harris Simon: The Mastery of Passion
by Larry Taylor
Discovering gold in reissues going 30 years back is always a pleasure. Such is the case with Harris Simon's The Mastery of Passion, featuring selections from CDs first released on Japan's Pony Canyon label--New York Connection (1978) and Swish (1980). Simon was in his early twenties at the time of these dates, fast gaining recognition as ...
Greg Reitan: Antibes
by Dan McClenaghan
Los Angeles-based pianist Greg Reitan's debut, Some Other Time (Sunnyside Records, 2009), introduced a surprisingly mature talent. With a mix of American Songbook gems, some fine originals, a surprise or two, and a couple of jazz standards--all rendered with a distinctively sure and elegant touch--the pianist announced himself as a top tier talent in the crowded ...

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.

Interview: Denny Zeitlin (Part 3)
Pianist Denny Zeitlin scored just one motion picture in his career, the 1978 remake of the 1950s classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The score is notable for its combined use of symphonic brass, strings and synthesizers. Denny's goal was to create themes and incidental music that would capture in music the paranoia and fear that's ...
Interview: Denny Zeitlin (Part 2)
Denny Zeitlin's early trio albums for Columbia Records keep getting better with age. The recordings between 1963 and 1966 are sensitive, pulsating and lyrical. They also beg comparison to Bill Evans' recordings of the same period. Both pianists could slip into an ecstatic state at the drop of a hat while performing, and both made strong ...
Interview: Denny Zeitlin (Part 1)
Denny Zeitlin knows more about the jazz mind than anyone I know. Not only is Denny a brilliant jazz pianist, he's also a practicing psychiatrist. But Denny's medical profession hardly makes him a jazz dabbler. Among his compositions is the jazz standard Quiet Now, and his recordings for Columbia in the early 1960s dazzled Bill Evans. ...
