Cedar Walton: Seasoned Wood
by Douglas Payne
Pianist Cedar Walton has long been the perfect accompanist for so many other leaders. He's written quite a few of jazz's few “standards" over the last half century as well. For four decades now, he's also been an outstanding leader, waxing dozens of discs that win plenty of critical plaudits but never seem to bring him ...
Trio Viriditas: Live at Vision Festival VI
by Greg Camphire
Recorded at the 2001 edition of the long-running New York concert series, Live at Vision Festival VI showcases the top-notch Trio Viriditas, featuring reedsman/trumpeter Alfred Harth, percussionist Kevin Norton, and the late Wilbur Morris on bass.

by John Kelman
Perhaps unfairly overshadowed by his brother, the late saxophonist Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker has, nevertheless been one of the most significant trumpeters of the past forty years.

Horace Silver: Live At Newport '58
by Chris May
Fifty years on, and previously unreleased, this boisterous festival performance by pianist Horace Silver's quintet is 40 minutes of hard swinging, compositionally distinguished, primo hard bop. It's also the only known recording by a band in the process of morphing from the line-up which recorded Further Explorations (Blue Note, 1958) to the one which cut Finger ...

Horace Silver: Live At Newport '58
by C. Michael Bailey
Horace Silver Live At Newport '58 Blue Note 2007 For a jazz artist of such longevity, pianist Horace Silver has precious few live recordings as leader.
