Bill Charlap: Contrasts with Jon Gordon / Voyage with Phil Woods
by C. Michael Bailey
A precocious, well- studied pianist, trading eights with two alto giants. The common denominator in both of these recent releases would at first glance appear to be pianist Bill Charlap. However, the relationship goes much deeper. Alto saxophonist Jon Gordon was a school chum of Charlap's at New York City's High School for the Performing. Phil ...
Mike LeDonne: Bags Groove
by David A. Orthmann
The survival of jazz as a living art form depends on the transmission of essential performance elements from one generation to the next, with the proviso that youth eventually contribute something new to the tradition rather than simply stay in place. Heeding all aspects of this process,Bags Groove, Mike LeDonne’s homage to the late Milt Jackson, ...

Craig Wuepper: The Returnsman
by Dave Nathan
Jazz ensembles led by drummers rarely gain the prominence they perhaps deserve, the outstanding exception being Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. Craig Wuepper works hard to change that perception on his maiden album as leader. There are four his works on the program and they are where Wuepper especially displays his considerable drumming talent. Although he cites ...
Don Braden: The Contemporary Standards Ensemble
by C. Andrew Hovan
It's a known fact that the majority of jazz performers, both past and present, draw on popular material in some way or form for a part of their repertoire. These items are the “standards" that have become the language of most improvising musicians. These tunes have stood the test of time, but emanate from a previous ...
