Carl Allen & Rodney Whitaker: Get Ready
by John Barron
Drummer Carl Allen and bassist Rodney Whitaker have a lot in common. They're both from the Midwest-- Allen's from Milwaukee, Whitaker's from Detroit.

Kendrick Scott: Oracle for Good Music
by R.J. DeLuke
Kendrick Scott, at 26, is already one of the very finest drummers on the jazz scene, possessing an open mind, a beautiful feel for melody and tasty style that fits a myriad of situations.

Jean-Luc Ponty: The Acatama Experience
by John Kelman
It's been six years since Jean-Luc Ponty last released a studio disc. Contrasting with the more heavily produced Life Enigma (JLP, 2001), The Acatama Experience places greater emphasis on the violinist's working band. It's also a record that consolidates his early years as a straight-ahead player with his 1970s fusion and later forays into funk and ...
Anat Cohen: Chant Of The Reeds
by Jim Santella
Clarinetist/saxophonist Anat Cohen brings many talents to the forum: a gifted interpreter of songs and melodies from a variety of cultures and traditions, she speaks a rich language possessing many dialects.

Kenny Werner: Lawn Chair Society
by John Kelman
Kenny Werner is best-known as an acoustic pianist, but he's no stranger to other keyboards.

Roland Kirk with Jack McDuff: Kirk's Work
by Troy Collins
Technically his third album, following Introducing Roland Kirk (Chess, 1960), and a previously unissued R&B session (Triple Threat), Kirk's Work pre-dates the boundless surrealism of his post-Rahsaan era. Sharing the bill with organist Jack McDuff, the record is commonly regarded as a fairly straight-ahead date made years before Kirk gradually transformed from a stunning virtuoso multi-instrumentalist ...

For Sentimental Reasons is Vibraphonist's First Album in 8 Years; Soskin's One Hopeful Day Is A True All-Star Outing While there may not be any apparent connection between vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson and pianist Mark Soskin, the links are evident if you think about it for a moment.

Booker Ervin: The Freedom Book
by Troy Collins
The first of four thematically linked albums, tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin's The Freedom Book is an overlooked classic. The Song Book, The Blues Book and The Space Book were all subsequently recorded in 1964 for Prestige, but this seminal 1963 recording is a masterpiece of unconventional, advanced hard bop. Less free than the title ...
