Florian Ross Trio: Pigs & Fairies
by Jack Bowers
As a composer, German-born pianist Florian Ross seldom strays from the musical basics: melody, harmony, rhythm.

Florian Ross Quintet: Lines & Crosscurrents
by Jack Bowers
Although you'd be hard-pressed to pick Florian Ross' quintet out of a lineup, the German-based helmsman wrests as much color and contrast as can be envisioned from a group that includes himself on piano or synthesizer, Markus Segschneider on pedal steel guitar and Niels Klein on clarinet, bass clarinet or tenor sax. If the music on ...

Jazz Quanta: January
by C. Michael Bailey
The beauty of having written for All About Jazz since the early years is that I was given one of the first personal columns, “Bailey's Bundles," as named by publisher Michael Ricci. I have used it mostly for thematically-based multiple record reviews, then my end-of-the-year lists. As the years sped on, I began to concentrate on ...

Florian Ross: Front Room Songs
by Dan Bilawsky
The use of overdubs isn't really the norm on jazz recordings, but it is an accepted practice.

Piano legend Bill ...
Florian Ross Big Company: Ties & Loose Ends
by Jack Bowers
