Charles Tolliver Big Band: With Love
by Troy Collins
With Love, Charles Tolliver's first official Blue Note session as a leader, brings the under-sung trumpeter's career full circle. His recording debut on Jackie McLean's '64 Blue Note classic It's Time, led to fruitful partnerships with many of the era's finest bandleaders, culminating in his formation of the Strata-East label with pianist Stanley Cowell in '71. ...
Anat Cohen: Poetica
by Jack Bowers
This is a wonderfully recorded session, overflowing with tender, charming melodies, and everyone involved is a world-class musician. On the other hand, it's not exactly jazz: more like chamber music, bordering at times on classical and not too many steps removed from the venerable klezmer tradition. There is improvisation, but it flows so easily from the ...
Kevin Hays: Piano Works III: Open Range
by Andrew Rowan
Pianist Kevin Hays came to prominence in New York in the '80s, eventually working with such luminaries as Sonny Rollins, Benny Golson, Roy Haynes, Joe Henderson, Art Farmer and John Scofield, among others. In the '90s, he recorded a well-received series of sessions for Blue Note, including '94's Seventh Sense (one of the New York Times' ...
Drummer Kendrick Scott Releases Debut CD "The Source" on April 10
Kendrick “KADS" Scott is not your average drummer. Yes, he went to Berklee. Yes, he endorses many of the same drums and accessories as the next guy. And of course his influences include Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Jack DeJohnette, Roy Haynes, and Philly Joe Jones. But Scott distinguishes himself from his peers with unrestrained energy, acute ...
Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band: Dizzy's Business
by George Kanzler
This is a “ghost band" in the midst of an exorcism. Dizzy's ghost is almost gone. Past editions of this band featured Jon Faddis, Dizzy's most faithful acolyte, on trumpet, carrying the torch. No torch carriers here: sans Faddis, the other trumpeters obviously feel no compunction to channel Dizzy bop lines in their solos. And while ...
Anat Cohen & The Anzic Orchestra: Noir
by Jack Bowers
Frankly, I had no idea what to expect from Anat Cohen's first big band album. But if I'd had any expectations, they'd have easily been surpassed by the time the opening track reached its midway point. Cohen plays clarinet on that selection, and it's easy to understand why music critics have named her one of Down ...

Slide Hampton: Drum Suite
by Francis Lo Kee
For Drum Suite, Slide Hampton set out to make an album to feature the drumming of Max Roach, but he accomplished much more: a display of why teamwork is at the essence of powerful jazz. Besides the framing of Roach's melodic and multi-dynamic drumming, the album succeeds in featuring the entire ensemble as part of a ...
Industrial Jazz Group: Industrial Jazz A Go Go!
by Andrey Henkin
For those expecting to read about Ministry tunes played by full trumpet sections, stop right now. The Industrial Jazz Group has absolutely nothing to do with industrial music per se. I might posit that the adjective refers to an almost assembly line-like amalgamation of every known big band style into one mechagodzilla that destroys Tokyo.
