Kris Davis Trio, Propulsion and Porchbone
by Maurice Hogue
This week features the first trio recording by pianist Kris Davis in ten years--Run The Gauntlet. It's on her own label, Pyroclastic, and of course it's excellent.

Jason Stein: Anchors
by Mark Corroto
Jason Stein would never in a million years characterize Anchors as his variation of A Love Supreme (Impulse!, 1965). But a comparison can be made. John Coltrane's quartet recording was the most personal and profound statement of his career. The same can be said for Stein and Anchors. He had taken time off from recording and ...

Imagine for a moment what the reaction might be if your facial muscles suddenly, involuntarily, started to freeze, leaving you ...

Eva Novoa: Novoa / Gress / Gray Trio, Vol. 1
by Mike Jurkovic
A vivid sense of drama and its intrinsic, minute shadings of light upon dark places animate pianistEva Novoa's work. Barcelona bred and keening with Brooklyn bravura, Novoa swaps the fore and backgrounds with uncompromised glee. Expressionistic, Impressionistic, and forthright, she aligns and upsets the edges to her liking. That, along with the crackling, crosstown chi of ...
