Mark Isaacs Resurgence Band: Aurora
by C. Michael Bailey
The last artistic musical movement in jazz to be given a meaningful name was the post-bop movement. Arising out of the mid-1960s as a unifying response to hard bop, modal, the avant-garde and free jazz, post-bop has fairly well dominated the most creative jazz made in the last 30 years. If post-bop has a ground zero, ...
Jazz Takes To The High Seas
by Dan Bilawsky
Explorers, of the musical and non-musical variety, always seem to be fascinated by the bountiful bodies of water that cover the earth.

David Caceres: David Caceres
by Raul d'Gama Rose
Comparisons are odious, and can certainly lead to bias. Moreover, in the case of David Caceres, they simply do not capture the immense character that holds together the artistry of this astounding musician. True, Caceres channels Donny Hathaway, and can wind up closing in on the soaring falsetto of Stevie Wonder, but his phrasing is quite ...
Marcus Miller: A Night in Monte Carlo
by Chuck Koton
It's been more than four years since James Brown, the “hardest working man in show business," departed this Earth for an ethereal stage, time enough to anoint a successor. Bassist Marcus Miller deserves consideration--a tribute that would, no doubt, put a smile on the face of the Godfather of Soul. After all, a typical year for ...
Shawn Costantino: Waltz for Anne
by C. Michael Bailey
Finally! A collection of Adult Contemporary jazz that has something to say and knows how to say it. Nothing signals oncoming Muzak more than jazz propelled by electric bass, guitar, and piano. Fortunately, multi-reedist Shawn Costantino slays those dragons of jazz prejudice early in his self-produced Waltz for Anne, with an incendiary cover of The Beatles' ...
