Peter Zak: The Disciple
by C. Michael Bailey
Pianist Peter Zak had a transcontinental shift from Los Angeles to Columbus and Kent Ohio and, finally, to New Your City, where he has remained since 1989. He has released critically well-received CDs for the Danish SteepleChase label: The Eternal Triangle (2012), Nordic Noon (2011) and Down East (2011). He returns with the present trio recording, ...
Dimitrije Vasiljević: Metaphor
by Chris M. Slawecki
The second solo piano release by composer, pianist and Serbian native Dimitrije Vasiljević, Metaphor seems to embody the very best of the European (Eastern and Western) and American classical and jazz piano traditions. With his austere yet light approach to melody and rhythm, Vasiljević reflects both emerging pianists such as Eldar Djangirov and more longstanding stalwarts ...
Horace Silver: Six Pieces of Silver – Blue Note 1539
by Marc Davis
Yep, this is the “Senor Blues" album. That's not the name, obviously, but it could be. This outstanding hard bop CD, recorded by Horace Silver's quintet in 1956, has 10 tracks, and three of them are “Senor Blues." No wonder. It's arguably the best track in the collection--a Spanish-tinged slow blues toe-tapper. Even so, ...
Steve Cardenas: Melody in a Dream
by Angelo Leonardi
Steve Cardenas è un chitarrista meno considerato di quello che dovrebbe, nonostante il talento indiscutibile e la considerazione che gode tra i colleghi: è stato a lungo membro dell'Electric Bebop Band di Paul Motian, della Liberation Music Orchestra di Charlie Haden e collabora stabilmente con i gruppi di Joey Baron, Ben Allison e Steve Swallow.
Larry Goldings, THE TRIO: Larry Goldings-Peter Bernstein-Bill Stewart: Ramshackle Serenade
by Chris M. Slawecki
Like just about every historically great organ trio, these three expert musicians are strongly rooted in funk and jazz: Organ player Larry Goldings and drummer Bill Stewart both spent time smoking riffs for saxophonist Maceo Parker and guitarist {{John Scofield (not at the same time), while no less an authority than Jim Hall once called Peter ...

Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra Pulsion Ubiquity 2014 A musician friend whose opinion I greatly respect shared with me that he enjoys listening to Pulsion, the fourth release by the Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra (ALVO), in two layers: The frothy jazz-influenced horn, brass and string arrangements on top and, like a ...
Kenny Dorham: The Complete ‘Round About Midnight at the Café Bohemia – Blue Note 1524
by Marc Davis
I think I have a new favorite hard bop record. For many years, I considered Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers the perfect hard bop band--the Beatles of the bop set. I still do. I don't know how Blakey managed to find the very best up-and-coming jazz musicians in America, year after year, but ...
