Greg Burk Trio: Nothing, Knowing
by Daniel Spicer
Let's presume it's not too obvious a question, almost a century since King Oliver taught Satchmo how to blow his soul out the end of his horn and say what he damn well felt like saying. Exactly what is the relationship between improvisation and jazz? Pianist Greg Burk tackles this question on Nothing, Knowing, with nine ...

by Michael McCaw
When examining the individual pieces of a puzzle, one only sees parts of the picture, but not the whole.

Greg Burk Trio: Checking In
by Mark Corroto
Pianist Greg Burk's debut on the Italian Soul Note label, Checking In, might have been better suited with the title Checking Out, as in “I've been checking out different approaches to the jazz piano trio." The disc displays the Berklee educator's multiple voices, beginning with his fundamentally stable sound. Joining Burk are drumming legend ...
