Jazz Goes Globetrotting
by Martin Gladu
Itself a hybrid art form, jazz has a degree of permeability which enables it to reach ethnically and geographically diverse audiences. This is mainly achieved by incorporating elements borrowed from those same “foreign" cultures: think of trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's use of Afro Cuban rhythms, the adoption of Brazilian tunes into the standard repertoire in ...
Gene Bertoncini / Roni Ben-Hur: Jazz Therapy, Volume 1: Smile
by Karen Hogg
Smile, the inaugural CD from Motema's Jazz Therapy series, comes from guitarists Gene Bertoncini and Roni Ben-Hur and benefits a very worthy cause.

Ablaye Cissoko & Volker Goetze: Sira
by Martin Gladu
It is often said an image is worth a thousand words. Well, now that the concept of the album cover has been relegated to mere packets of metadata--at best experienced via the tiniest screen-mounted, portable music devices--it appears rather sad that fans will likely miss out on Ablaye Cissoko and Volker Goetze's cover of Sira. Somewhat ...

Erik Friedlander: Broken Arm Trio
by Troy Collins
The self-titled debut of Downtown cellist Erik Friedlander's Broken Arm Trio refers to an injury that legendary bassist Oscar Pettiford sustained while playing baseball in 1949. Pettiford couldn't play upright bass with his arm in a sling, but he could handle the cello; he proceeded to develop a style on the smaller instrument that yielded a ...
Wayne Horvitz & Sweeter Than The Day: A Walk In The Dark
by Martin Longley
This cumbersomely-named combo have been together for nearly a decade, just one of keyboardist Wayne Horvitz's many band projects. The concept appears to revolve around a desire to embrace an almost-acoustic modern traditionalism, while retaining a slightly skewed stance that recalls some of Horvitz's earlier forays into electro-groove. Lately, he appears to have forsaken ...
