Randy Napoleon: Playing for the Jukebox Crowd
by Trish Richardson
When guitarist Randy Napoleon titled his latest effort, The Jukebox Crowd (Gut String Records, 2012), the jukebox he referred to was not some nostalgic 1950s era one that sits idly in a corner. Rather, she is a much sleeker, hipper, and more modern version. She is cool and, of course, jazzy, and she commands center stage. ...

Eric Comstock: No One Knows
by Jerry D'Souza
Eric Comstock's third album finds the pianist/vocalist moving deeper into jazz territory with a stellar cast of jazz musicians. The move certainly works; while the band serves in top-notch fashion, Comstock makes it all the more relevant with his ability to phrase and enunciate these pieces the way jazz song should be treated. Stylistic touches apart, ...
Eric Comstock: No One Knows

This revue was written by a very talented Eric Comstock, who also played piano and sang, along with two equally talented vocalists, Hilary Kole and Christopher Gines. Comstock seamlessly stitched ...
Eric Comstock: No One Knows
by William Grim
Wow! There are simply not enough superlatives for this CD.

Blessed with perfect intonation and incredible enunciation, Comstock does equal ...

Comstock strikes me here as coming from the line of singers that starts with Bing Crosby and runs through Frank Sinata ...
