Kind of Blue Records Presents the Mark Soskin Quartet at Jazz Standard - July 10th

With One Hopeful Day, it becomes abundantly clear that pianist Mark Soskin has learned one primary lesson from his many sideman gigs: how to stock his ensemble with the best and the brightest. On Tuesday, July 10th, Mark Soskin will celebrate the release of One Hopeful Day at Jazz Standard, 116 East 27th Street, New York ...
Anat Cohen: Time To Blossom

by R.J. DeLuke
I would say that's what keeps me content musically is the fact that I try to put myself in different musical situations and I enjoy them all equally, says Anat Cohen, an Israel-born musician who has been making noise in her own sweet way on the New York City music scene since coming to the Big ...
Robin Eubanks + EB3: Live Vol. 1

by Jim Santella
Trombonist Robin Eubanks believes in staying up with the times. Not that electric trombone, trumpet or saxophone are anything new but relatively few jazz artists use them in concert since the looping and the pedal work can be quite complex. The opportunity to see it done live or on DVD is always something special. Eubanks' contemporary ...
Kenny Burrell: 75th Birthday Bash Live!

by John Barron
At 75, Kenny Burrell's career should be considered a lesson in longevity. Swinging as hard as ever, the guitarist's patented style of smooth-toned, blues-inflected bop that has made him a favorite of jazz audiences and an inspiration to legions of guitarists is strongly intact. 75th Birthday Bash Live! is a fitting celebration in honor of the ...
Robin Eubanks & EB3: Live Vol. 1

by John Kelman
While ongoing developments in the area of technology have made it possible for artists to create a big band sound on a small band budget, you'd be hard pressed to find a group integrating it as seamlessly and interactively as trombonist Robin Eubanks' EB3 on Live Vol. 1. Thankfully Eubanks, rather than leaving listeners scratching their ...

Ron Carter: Dear Miles

by John Barron
There certainly hasn't been a shortage of artists recording tributes to Miles Davis since the trumpeter's death in 1991. The list includes contributions as diverse as Benny Golson's I Remember Miles (Milestone, 1992), Henry Kaiser and Wadada Leo Smith's Yo Miles! (Shanachie, 1998) and Cassandra Wilson's Traveling Miles (Blue Note, 1999). Almost forty years since parting ...
Bill Charlap Trio: Live at the Village Vanguard

by Jim Santella
Recorded in September 2003, this program includes several standards, giving a sense of familiarity to its essence. Pianist Bill Charlap enjoys a mellow groove. He squeezes the melody out of the piano as if it were coming from a rose petal. Nothing stands in his way as he sends each lyrical theme on its way. With ...
Kendrick Scott Oracle: The Source

by J Hunter
The first time I saw Kendrick Scott, he wasn't supposed to be there. Eric Harland was a no-show for the Terence Blanchard Sextet's 2003 gig at the Skidmore Jazz Institute (a summer program that counts Scott as an alumnus), so Scott filled in, and acquitted himself admirably. When Terence Blanchard's Flow tour came to Albany in ...
Brad Mehldau: Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz with Brad Mehldau

by Ken Dryden
Brad Mehldau's 1996 appearance on Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz is a typically enjoyable program in this long running NPR series, featuring the then up-and-coming pianist playing at the top of his game and engaging in enlightening conversation with his host about his interests and influences. Yet another musician who initially began classical studies but gravitated to ...
