Nicolas Bearde: Invitation
by Dan Bilawsky
A jewel always shines brightest when placed in just the right setting, and boy does this album emphasize that point. When Nicholas Bearde's soulful and affecting baritone sits atop these impeccably tailored arrangements of sterling standards, the results are absolutely stunning. With his four previous albums, the Bay Area-based Bearde has managed to ...
2015: The Year in Jazz
by Ken Franckling
The year 2015 was a curious blend of ups and downs, with glimmers of optimism offset by its losses. Venues opened to great fanfare, but others closed for a variety of reasons. UNESCO's International Jazz Day became firmly entrenched as the exclamation point on Jazz Appreciation Month activities in April. Daily arts journalism took a hit ...
Jazzedelics: Jazzedelics
by Graham E Peterson
Opening with the burning re-harmonization of Jimi Hendrix's “Fire," the Jazzedelics incorporate all of the rhythmic intensity of the king of psychedelic rock's massive sound while reimagining the song in fresh and new harmonic territory. The band sets out to take some of the 1960's most notable recordings and recreate them as if jazz musicians had ...
Danny Mixon: Pass It On
by Mark Sullivan
Despite his low profile, veteran pianist Danny Mixon has quite a history. His career has included stints playing with Betty Carter, Kenny Dorham, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Frank Foster, Grant Green, Pharoah Sanders, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Charles Mingus, and many others. Most of Pass It On finds him alternating between solos and trios. Many of the ...
Famed Bassist Chuck Israels Signs With Dot Time Records - New Release "Garden Of Delights"
Dot Time Records is excited to announce the signing of composer, arranger and bassist Chuck Israels.

Claudio Sanna: Ammentos
by Mark Corroto
A new voice worthy of your consideration is Sardinian pianist Claudio Sanna. His debut Ammentos, or “Memories,' finds a fully developed mature sound that is formed by classical music, but as with many jazz artists, open to other musics. Classically trained artists like Sanna, Keith Jarrett and Herbie Hancock before him, can also be ...
Herbie Hancock: Speak Like a Child – 1968
by Marc Davis
Speak Like a Child feels like the mash-up of two separate albums. One is a lyrical set of three tunes--mellow songs with childhood themes. The other is a standard set of three bop tunes. Both are nice, but the quieter songs are maybe a bit too tame. Give Herbie Hancock credit for trying something ...
Ithamara Koorax: All Around the World
by Chris M. Slawecki
All Around the World represents several milestones for firebrand Brazilian vocalist Ithamara Koorax: It marks her twentieth release as a leader, celebrates the 25th year of her career, and, just like her first official release (Ithamara Koorax Live in Rio [1993, JVC]), All Around the World comes digitally straight from the soundboard, with no overdubs or ...
Tokyo Label Core Port Releases "Deep Immersion" by Bassist & Composer Konstantin Ionenko
Over the last decade, Konstantin Ionenko has been engaged in several jazz projects spanning different countries, though only a small number of which were recorded and released. A solo project was just a matter of time as Ionenko's composing talent has been highly praised by colleagues and audience alike. His debut release Deep Immersion contains seven ...
Three Views of Jaco: Weather Report: The Legendary Live Tapes 1978-1981 / JACO: The Film & Original Soundtrack
by John Kelman
It's hard to believe that, despite being gone for 28 years, bassist/composer Jaco Pastorius remains not just an important figure in the world of jazz, but beyond its broadest purview as well. His seemingly sudden appearance on a series of four albums in 1976 demonstrated that this was an artist with virtually no restrictions. In addition ...
