Various Artists: Mysterious Voyages - A Tribute to Weather Report
by John Kelman
Weather Report's fifteen-year tenure was not only the longest of the fusion groups that emerged from the post-Bitches Brew era--including John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, Chick Corea's Return to Forever, and Herbie Hancock's Headhunters--it was arguably the most broadly influential. Starting out as an electric free jazz collective but ultimately honing a sound that included world beat ...
Tommy Smith: Evolution
by John Kelman
A member of vibraphonist Joe Locke's widely-acclaimed Four Walls of Freedom, Scottish saxophonist Tommy Smith is finally beginning to crack a broader international market. The surprise is that it's taken this long. Since returning home from the States in the late '80s, Smith has become something of a cottage industry in the UK, creating the Scottish ...

Randy Brecker: 34th N Lex
by Todd S. Jenkins
Randy Brecker's last release ( Hangin' in the City ) was one strange puppy, a handful of serviceable tunes wound tightly around the convoluted perversion of “Randroid," the trumpeter's streetwise cabbie alter-ego. Brecker wisely got back to the groove this time around, leaving this disc's few vocals to more capable hands. The result is a highly ...
Randy Brecker: 34th N Lex
by Javier AQ Ortiz
Quick and to the Point: No need to preach to the choir: if you are into Brecker, go right at it. Otherwise, read on... The title cut on 34th N Lex teases the listener in Cuberizing his or her feet and shoulders on an electronic rhythmic bedrock that supports a neo-funkification of Ronnie Cuber’s ...
Dennis Chambers: Outbreak
by Todd S. Jenkins
Dennis Chambers, the reigning master of all beats funky, presents a panorama of groove stylings in the vein of Les McCann and the Headhunters. In fact, this session initially feels similar in spirit to labelmate Bill Evans' recent Big Fun, which featured McCann himself. But in the big picture the two releases have little in common ...
