Anders Koppel: Mulberry Street Symphony
by Doug Collette
A father-son collaboration at its most sublime, Mulberry Street Symphony is a natural and logical extension of saxophonist/composer Benjamin Koppel's eclectic sets of funk and free improvisation The Ultimate Soul & Jazz Revue (Cowbell Music, 2020) and The Art of the Quartet (Cowbell Music, 2020). The prolific Dane wisely aligns himself here with redoubtable counterparts in ...
Poco: One Night in Nashville
by Doug Collette
What at a glance looks like a lost treasure, Poco's One Night in Nashville, is in fact a re-release of a title available on CD/DVD around the time of its recording in 2004. It has existed under different titles in the interim and this reissue (with its own seemingly varied cover graphics) actually exists on both ...
Martin Wind: No Second Thoughts
by Doug Collette
Bassist/composer Martin Wind is nothing if not brave. But then any contemporary jazz instrumentalist courageous enough to so forthrightly comport himself on the instrument in the shadow of the late icons such as Charles Mingus and Jaco Pastorius would certainly have no compunctions about recording and releasing two differently conceived albums within just months of each ...
The Brown Brothers: Explain Relativity
by Doug Collette
It is a somewhat heady sensation to simply read the title of the Brown Brothers' album. Explain Relativity conjures all manner of thoughts about pretentious concepts, when in fact this collaboration between these siblings and their like-minded accompanists documents an ever so deft journey from ECM Records-like atmospherics to the stuff of which the Chess Records ...
Bruce Bishop: A Dream Set Free
by Doug Collette
Guitarist Bruce Bishop's A Dream Set Free carries a sizable impact, albeit one so understated that it is difficult to gauge how out of proportion it is in relation to its playing time of slightly over thirty-minutes. But this album also turns out to be a remarkably seamless piece of work, even with the presence of ...

Fred Hersch and Hiromi: Great Minds
by Doug Collette
Contemplating the thought that Fred Hersch and Hiromi discussed the concept for these records in advance is little more fascinating than pondering how they came up with the idea independently of each other. While both artists reside within the general scope of jazz, each travels markedly different paths around the terrain: Hersch is the more traditional ...
