Sara Lazarus: Give Me The Simple Life
by Michael P. Gladstone
Sara Lazarus' debut recording, Give Me The Simple Life, shows her to be a gifted jazz vocalist with a real ability to swing. The dozen selections on the recording are well balanced, including ballads, blues and bossa. Lazarus brings a natural jazz sensibility to these songs and there is no hint of artificiality in her vocals.
Philip Catherine/Brussels Jazz Orchestra: Meeting Colours
by Jack Bowers
I've sometimes wondered why guitarists don't record more often with big bands. Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass, among others, proved that such a marriage can work quite well, as does Belgian maestro Philip Catherine--who reminds me of Pass--on this impressive new album with the world-class Brussels Jazz Orchestra. Catherine wrote all but one tune, Ellington's “In ...
Rosario Giuliani: More Than Ever
by Paul Olson
There's such an abundance nowadays of great American alto players that it is easy, perhaps, to overlook an Italian player like Rosario Giuliani. The unevenness of his discography hasn't helped either. There's nothing uneven, however, about More Than Ever, as bracing a session of post-bop acoustic jazz as you're likely to hear this year. Giuliani's supported ...
Ahmad Jamal: After Fajr
by AAJ Staff
That a Japanese mountaineer successfully scaled Mount Everest in May 2008, at the age of 75, is proof that age is no barrier to those with new goals to conquer. If pianist Ahmad Jamal, at 78, were a mountaineer, he too would surely be attempting to scale Everest. There are those, however, who argue that Ahmad ...
Sylvain Luc: Ambre
by James Taylor
Guitarist Sylvain Luc's sophomore solo album, Ambre, is similar to solo instrumental albums from other virtuosic talents--akin to, say, anything by Victor Wooten. You kind of have to be a player and student of the instrument in question, or just really into solo instrumental albums, to fully appreciate the album and the artist's technical proficiency. Maybe ...
Bireli Lagrene and Gipsy Project: Move
by Jim Santella
In a celebration of the music of Django Reinhardt, Biréli Lagrène uses his virtuostic technique to interpret classic songs from several different jazz eras. The album's title track, by Denzil Best, was one of bebop's early anthems. Reinhardt originals recall the swing tradition that the gypsy guitarist espoused, while fresh originals honor his memory with a ...
Jean-Michel Pilc: Follow Me
by Andrew Durkin
Given the Francophobia that has reared its ugly head in American politics over the last few years, it's a relief to see that Stateside jazz fans, at least, are still open to the contributions of European practitioners of the art form. So, for instance, Jean-Michel Pilc's latest CD, the somewhat generically named Follow Me , has ...
