Bobby Previte: Pan Atlantic

Read "Pan Atlantic" reviewed by A. Henkin


The “mashup," the blending of two or more songs to create a new work, has steadily gained popularity over the last decade.

Ralph Towner / Paolo Fresu: Chiaroscuro

Read "Chiaroscuro" reviewed by David McLean

Steve Smith and Vital Information: Vitalive!

Read "Vitalive!" reviewed by John Kelman


Recorded on tour in 1988 and originally released in 1991, Vitalive! is, in the words of drummer Steve Smith, “the most 'jazz' version of Vital Information to date."
