Chad Eby: Broken Shadows

Read "Broken Shadows" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

Attention grabbing music these days is either accomplished by the loudest voice (American Idol anybody?) or the rudest performance. While not saying jazz has descended to that level, certainly the squeakiest wheel often gets the most attention. Then again, hearing a genuine voice like saxophonist Chad Eby reaffirms the instinct that an authoritative performance from a ...

John Butcher & Mark Sanders / Alex Ward & Roger Turner / John Tchicai & Tony Marsh: Treader Duos

Read "Treader Duos" reviewed by John Eyles

Each of the three tracks lasts about twenty five minutes, long enough for the duos to give a good account of themselves. The three tracks give an opportunity to hear some ...

Drummer Matt Wilson Put the 'Play' in Playing Jazz with His Quartet

Drummers have a reputation of being a little “different" than the rest of the players on the bandstand.

Read "Quiet Joy" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

You cannot judge a jazz CD by its cover, particularly in this age of frankly shoddy-looking self-produced sleeves that may well detract attention from good music inside. The cover of Jennifer Lee's Quiet Joy is not amateurish--on the contrary, it is very tastefully assembled. Nevertheless, it could be misleading. The cover depicts the San Francisco Bay ...
