Marc Copland: Crosstalk
by Troy Collins
Pianist Marc Copland is widely admired for his harmonically astute writing, imaginative interpretations of standards, and sensitivity as a sophisticated soloist.

Francois Carrier: Entrance 3
by Mark Corroto

Canadian saxophonist François Carrier is one such artist. On Entrance 3, he bridges modern free jazz and mid-1960s post-bop, with guest pianist Bobo Stenson and his working trio of bassist Pierre ...
Julia Hulsmann: Imprint
by Jonathan Wertheim
Manfred Eicher's Munich-based ECM Records specializes in spacious, absorbing records that reveal their inner workings, labyrinth-like, over the course of many listens. Some releases reveal themselves from the first note; with others, it can take years. Pianist Julia Hülsmann's sixth record--and second for ECM--Imprint, manages both. Hülsmann's trio isn't new--it has had more ...
