Juan-Carlos Formell: La Calles del Paraiso
by William Grim
If I were forced to categorize the music of Juan-Carlos Fromell I'd have to call it “Cuban-Lite." It has Spanish lyrics and the rhythms are latin-based, but it lacks the emotional intensity that we have come to expect from Cuban music. It is also overly produced, in much the same manner as so-called “smooth jazz." While ...
Jarmo Saari Filmtet: A Tribute to Finnish Cinema
by Matthew Wuethrich
One of the few things more obscure than Finnish jazz is Finnish cinema, and even more obscure would be Finnish film music. Guitarist Jarmo Saari fuses together these little known elements and creates a surprising and delightful jazz revue of all three. In the process, Saari's Filmtet also highlights the strengths and weaknesses of many contemporary ...
The Brigham Phillips Big Band: And It Really Was
by Jack Bowers
Another world–class big band? Yes, it really is — and this one’s from Toronto, Canada, home of the renowned Boss Brass, several of whose alumni are on hand to make sure the phrase “world–class” is entirely appropriate.

Anthology nonetheless, this is a super jazz album that stands on its own as a fascinating ...

Simon Rattle: Classic Ellington
by Dave Nathan
Despite the successes of Benny Goodman, Andre Previn and most recently, Keith Jarrett and Brad Melhdau,I get nervous when jazz and classical musicians get together because they come from different bases. Jazz is swing, blues and improvisation. Classics is sticking to the written score. Classical conductors interpret Beethoven's Symphony No. 5, not improvise above its melody ...
