The DIVA Jazz Orchestra: Special Kay!
by Jack Bowers
WOW! No, it is definitely not advisable to open a review with an unequivocal superlative (for one thing, it sort of gives the game away, doesn't it?). But on Special Kay!, its ninth impressive album in twenty-four years, DIVA--the gold standard among all-female big bands since its inception--really gives a commentator no reasonable ...

Sherrie Maricle and the DIVA Jazz Orchestra: Live in Concert
by Jack Bowers
As I've mentioned before, my brother Tom swears he can tell the difference between male and female jazz musicians, especially in big bands. To test his ability to do so, I cobbled together a CD comprised of selections from the DIVA Jazz Orchestra's first three albums, slapped a fictitious male name on the label and sent ...

Suzanne Grzanna: Fly Me to the Moon
by Jack Bowers
According to the sleeve notes on Fly Me to the Moon, Milwaukee--based Suzanne Grzanna has a growing list of admirers. Wish I could count myself among them, but she'll have to produce something far more persuasive than this before that happens. Grzanna doubles on vocals and alto sax, and needs a lot of work in both ...

Morgonn: What We See
by Jim Santella
Singer Morgonn Ewen wrote half these songs on her recording and co-wrote two others. They're interesting tales and commentary on the way things are: “Stifled" tells of the inadequacies we sometimes feel when we're unable to express our true feelings. “Ma Bella Gina" rolls on lightly, putting a smile on your face. “Crazy II" is everyman's ...
