Ryan Truesdell Gil Evans Project: Lines of Color
by Dan McClenaghan
The biggest ribbons in composer/arranger Gil Evans' (1912-1988) resume are three groundbreaking Columbia Records albums he recorded with trumpeter Miles Davis: Miles Ahead (1958); Porgy and Bess (1959); and Sketches of Spain (1960). These were orchestral jazz of the finest caliber, recorded a decade after Evans' earlier work with Davis on the seminal Capitol Records set ...
Jeff Cosgrove/Frank Kimbrough/Martin Wind: Conversations With Owls
by Dan Bilawsky
Owls are often seen or portrayed as the most sagacious of creatures, wisely holding sway on a branch and quietly gazing into the night. Images such as that readily appear in the mind as Conversations With Owls unfold. In listening back to this music after the session, drummer Jeff Cosgrove was taken back ...
Ryan Truesdell's Gil Evans Project: Lines Of Color
by Dan Bilawsky
How do you create a follow-up to an album like Centennial-Newly Discovered Works Of Gil Evans (Artist Share, 2012)? That beauty--the debut from Ryan Truesdell's Gil Evans Project--was more than a standout record; it was an artistic tour de force and a recording for the ages. In crafting that album, Truesdell married his archeological skills, curatorial ...
Jeff Cosgrove/Frank Kimbrough/Martin Wind: Conversations With Owls
by Mark Corroto
The opening track to drummer Jeff Cosgrove's third release under his own name is The Owl, listening to his composition brings to mind poet Carl Sandburg's words, “The fog comes/on little cat feet/It sits looking/over harbor and city/on silent haunches/and then moves on." The composition is not what you might expect from a drummer led recording. ...

Dan Bilawsky's Best Releases of 2014
by Dan Bilawsky
How does an album end up on this list? It really comes down to two things: strength on impact and staying power. Some records hit hard from the start, ultimately losing power with play after play. Other records come on gently, growing on the ear and the mind over time. But it's the truly rare one ...

Maria Schneider Orchestra Jazz Standard New York, NY November 25, 2014 Thanksgiving is a time to reflect, rejoice, regroup, and remember all that we have to be thankful for. In the jazz world, the Maria Schneider Orchestra always ranks at the top of that last category. For ...
Michael Blake: Tiddy Boom
by Maurizio Comandini
Michael Blake cita espressamente tre sassofonisti nelle rarefatte note di copertina di questo album: Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young e Ross Taggart. I primi due sono la fonte di ispirazione di questo eccellente Tiddy Boom, mentre Taggart viene menzionato soprattutto per ricordarne la figura, di recente scomparsa. Ma non sarebbe sbagliato tirare fuori dall'armadio anche ...
Frank Kimbrough: Quartet
by Maurizio Zerbo
Deve essere difficile per i jazzisti di oggi essere originali. Tirare fuori qualcosa di nuovo da standard e composizioni originali è impresa ardua, ma Frank Kimbrough ci è riuscito con questo Quartet, CD che già dal titolo mette sotto i riflettori un eccellente gruppo che non si accontenta di riprodurre gli stilemi consolidati. La classica formula ...
