I've been inspired by dozens of new jazz recordings this year, but I've ...

John Hébert: Floodgates

Read "Floodgates" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Finding three musicians that speak the same language--jazz--is not uncommon. However, finding three that are as compatible as bassist John Hébert, pianist Benoît Delbecq, and drummer Gerald Cleaver is, as the French say, recherché. French culture is the theme of Hébert's trio recording. The New Orleans born, Cajun bassist invited the Paris-based pianist ...

3 Cohens: Tightrope

Read "Tightrope" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


It shouldn't come as a shock that the 3 Cohens stress the idea of interconnectedness in their music; soprano saxophonist Yuval Cohen, multi-reedist Anat Cohen and trumpeter Avishai Cohen are, after all, blood. With albums like One (Anzic, 2004), Braid (Anzic, 2007) and Family (Anzic, 2011), these three horn-playing siblings have made it clear that they're ...

Julian Lage: Living Lage

Read "Julian Lage: Living Lage" reviewed by Dan Bilawsky


It's good to be Julian Lage. The former wunderkind is all grown up and living large, playing with some of the best musicians on the planet; that makes perfect sense, considering he's also one of them. The young guitarist has done his homework, paid his dues and earned his stripes, and now he's spreading his wings ...

Fred Hersch and Julian Lage: Free Flying

Read "Fred Hersch and Julian Lage: Free Flying" reviewed by Victor L. Schermer
