Read "Afternoon In Paris" reviewed by Chris Mosey

by Chris Mosey

In the beginning: Leon Bibb. Born 1922, he sang at the first ever Newport Folk Festival, was a friend of Paul Robeson and, like him, blacklisted in the McCarthy era for his left-wing sympathies. After fighting segregation in Mississippi in the 1960s, he went to live in Canada. Next came his son, Eric ...

Camille Bertault: En Vie

Read "En Vie" reviewed by Angelo Leonardi

by Angelo Leonardi

Un vivace talento, una vocalist che swinga con naturalezza come le grandi del passato, un'autrice matura. Non ancora trentenne Camille Bertault illumina la scena del canto jazz come solo Cécile McLorin Salvant ha fatto in questi anni, offuscando in un sol colpo decine di cantanti contemporanee. Questo sorprendente debutto discografico stupirà molti, anche quelli ...

Benjamin Duboc/Julien Desprez/Julien Loutelier: Tournesol

Read "Tournesol" reviewed by Mark Corroto

by Mark Corroto

The free improvisations by Benjamin Duboc, Julien Desprez, and Julien Loutelier on Tournesol or “Sunflower" bring to mind the lyrics to “Love Dance," a minor crossover hit for George Benson in 1980: “From too much talk to loving touches/Love touches when pure emotion takes the moment/We take the chance/Turn up the quiet, love wants to dance." ...

Shauli Einav Quartet: Beam Me Up

Read "Beam Me Up" reviewed by Dave Wayne

by Dave Wayne

Beam Me Up is Shauli Einav's fifth album as a leader, but his first as a new father. This is worth mentioning because jazz is, as we all know, something that is lived.
