Grady Tate: From the Heart: Songs Sung Live at the Blue Note

Read "From the Heart: Songs Sung Live at the Blue Note" reviewed by Greg Thomas


Grady Tate, likely the most recorded trap drummer in history, has played with many a great singer: Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Peggy Lee and Sarah Vaughan--and that's just a few. But Tate himself has been one of the best jazz vocalists on the scene since his 1968 recording Windmills of My Mind. ...

Half Note Records

Read "Half Note Records" reviewed by Russ Musto

Perhaps so, but that's the story behind Half Note Records, the record company founded by the venerable New York venue, The Blue Note. It's not like label president Steven Bensusan had the option of ...

Conrad Herwig: Sketches of Spain Y Mas

Read "Sketches of Spain Y Mas" reviewed by Mark Corroto


Conrad Herwig's nonet explores the Latin side of jazz, and his band mines the fun (party) side as well. The Afro-Cuban/Afro-Caribbean component that makes up the art we call jazz has always been the party side.

Kenny Werner: Democracy: Live at The Blue Note

Read "Democracy: Live at The Blue Note" reviewed by Ernest Barteldes


This album, recorded at Blue Note at the beginning of this year, begins in the same manner that Kenny Werner's concert did during last month's residence at the same club: with a solo piano piece that emphasizes the subtleties of the pianist's fingering by exploring the whole keyboard in a classically inspired manner.

Kenny Werner: Democracy: Live at the Blue Note

Read "Democracy: Live at the Blue Note" reviewed by John Kelman
