Gitano Baila! (2004). But as fascinating as those recordings were, they featured a musical perspective by an all-star cast of musicians who ...

The Willie Williams Trio: Comet Ride
by Eyal Hareuveni
It took saxophonist Willie Williams fourteen years to record a follow-up to his fourth release as a leader, WW3 (Enja, 1993).

Monk's band and veteran of drummer Arthur Taylor quintet and Mingus Dynasty, is a great performer and composer, with ...
